The Los Angeles Chargers' 2024 draft class is gaining recognition as one of the finest in the NFL, showcasing significant contributions from players like Joe Alt and Ladd McConkey on offense. However, the real standout has been Tarheeb Still, a fifth-round pick from Maryland, who has excelled on the defensive side. In 13 games, Still has amassed 55 tackles, defended 10 passes, and recorded four interceptions, returning one for a touchdown.
His performance in terms of expected points added (EPA) shows that he has effectively reduced the scoring potential of opposing offenses, cementing his status among the league's premier defenders. Still joins a talented group of fellow rookies including Cooper DeJean, Calen Bullock, and Nate Wiggins, further enhancing the Chargers' roster as they look ahead.
