Elijah Molden has emerged as a significant player for the Los Angeles Chargers after his acquisition from the Tennessee Titans. The former third-round draft pick, who initially played cornerback, was transitioned to safety by defensive coordinator Jesse Minter. This strategic move paid off, with Molden quickly becoming a key asset on defense, allowing the Chargers to maximize the versatility of their All-Pro safety, Derwin James Jr.

During his time on the field, Molden made an impressive impact, ranking second among defensive backs in tackles and interceptions before a broken leg unfortunately cut his season short in Week 17. His statistics included 72 tackles, three interceptions, and seven passes defended across 12 starts, showcasing his potential. As the Chargers weigh their options for free agency, retaining Molden is seen as a priority.
