The Chargers are one of three teams expressing interest in TCU quarterback Max Duggan in the 2023 NFL draft, according to NFL Media’s Jane Slater.
Los Angeles recently re-signed Easton Stick to serve as the primary backup to Justin Herbert. However, the team has carried three quarterbacks on the 53-man roster in recent seasons. Therefore, they could be intrigued by Duggan coming in and competing for a spot.
But the Chargers showing interest in Duggan could mean they’re just gathering more information on his former teammates. One that would make sense is projected first-round wide receiver Quentin Johnston, who has been pegged to L.A. during the mock draft cycle.
The runner-up for this year’s Heisman Trophy, Duggan helped lead the Horned Frogs to the College Football Playoff with an impressive 2022 campaign. He passed for 3,698 yards and 32 touchdowns in his senior season. In addition, Duggan was a Senior Bowl participant.
Duggan projects as a fourth or fifth-round selection.
