The Chargers wide receiver corps looks to be one of the strongest parts of the team’s roster ahead of their 2023 campaign. Still, a recent survey of NFL bigwigs revealed that decision-makers around the league aren’t so bullish on the group.
Neither Keenan Allen nor Mike Williams managed to crack ESPN’s top-10 receiver rankings based on the review’s results in a surprising turn of events that will give the veterans fodder to claim that they are underrated in NFL circles.

The same survey found that quarterback Justin Herbert ranked behind Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers earlier in the week, so results from the poll are to be taken with a grain of salt.
If the Chargers’ veteran pass catchers weren’t already motivated to step up their game in 2023 after Los Angeles provided them with competition in April’s draft, the results of this survey are sure to give them plenty of reason to prove their doubters wrong when the regular season starts
