Stone Smartt, tight end for the Los Angeles Chargers, is emerging as a breakout player thanks to his dedicated offseason training with quarterback Justin Herbert and the team. Following an injury to Will Dissly, Smartt seized the opportunity, catching three passes for 54 yards last week.

Offensive coordinator Greg Roman praised Smartt's hard work and versatility, noting his contributions on special teams. As the Chargers prepare to face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 15, Smartt's performance could impact not only the current season but also his future with the team.
