Let’s take a look at the strength’s and weaknesses of this newly minted LA Chargers team. Next is the group of running backs. Kim Klement-USA TODAY Sports
Melvin Gordon
Gordon made the pro bowl last season after playing in really only 12 games, and racking up over 1400 yards through the air and on the ground, along with 12 TDs and only 2 fumbles. He continuously showed that he has what it takes to be the primary, 3 down back for the Chargers, and is one of the better ones in the league. After scoring zero touchdowns his rookie season, and fumbling 6 times in 217 touches, he had 295 touches this season and drastically improved. One reason for his red zone improvement was the lack of Danny Woodhead, who stole all but very few goal line carries. With a completely overhauled offensive line (adding Russell Okung, Forrest Lamp, and Dan Feeney), it should allow Gordon some more room to run. Add in a solid backup, and Melvin Gordon should be even better in his 3rd season. Jake Roth-USA TODAY Sports
