So earlier we laid the ground rules and went over 3 surprises on offense. The defense might be a bit easier. Mainly because, in my opinion, there's more established talent. So guys can ride the coattails of the better players. If this unit can remain healthy, they have a chance to be quite good. Healthy and the Chargers are just not something that happens so that's a bit of a pipe dream on my part.
Here are 3 potential surprises on defense.
Jatavis Brown
As a Chargers fan, Brown was my favorite player to watch last year. So there's some clear bias here. I was at Lucas Oil Stadium when he was all over the field. It was one of the best performances I'd seen at that position from a rookie in ages.
Keeping it as objective as I can, playing on the weak-side of a Gus Bradley defense usually means all of the tackles. K.J. Wright of Seattle is a speedster and has racked no less than 107 tackles the last 3 years. Now I'm not saying Brown is on that level as a pure football player but he's certainly as athletical
