Yes, we know that this is taking a while!

As many of you know, we at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the top 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists and consistently look to update them when necessary and based on necessity. As such, we are delighted to present our post-2023 revision of our top 50 Los Angeles Chargers.

As for all of our top 50 players in football, we look at the following:

1.  Advanced Statistics.

2.  Traditional statistics and how they finished in the National Football League.

3.  Playoff accomplishments.

4.  Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles that are not reflected in a stat sheet.

Last year, the Chargers did not accomplish much, and there were no new entrants to the Top 50.  There was one elevation.

As always, we present our top five, which saw no changes:

1. Junior Seau
2. LaDainian Tomlinson
3. Lance Alworth
4. Dan Fouts
5. Philip Rivers

You can find the entire list here.

Wide Receiver Keenan Allen climbed to #12 from #14.  He is now with the Chicago Bears.

Defensive End Joey Bosa, who has been battling injuries, only moved up spot to #38.

Running Back, Austin Ekeler, who is now with Washington, remained at #40.

We thank you for your continued support of our lists on Notinhalloffame.com.

Last year, the Chargers returned to the playoffs, but were bounced in the first game. This past season saw one new entrant and one elevation.

As always, we present our top five, which did not change.

Wide Receiver, Keenan Allen, climbed from #20 to #13.

Running Back, Austin Ekeler, makes his first appearance at #40.

It is noteworthy that Joey Bosa held the same spot (#39), and that Quarterback, Justin Herbert, just missed out. He should have a huge debut next year.

We welcome your input and comments and as always, we thank you for your support.

Joey Bosa was a beat at Ohio State, earning two All-American honors, the Nagurski-Woodson Defensive Player of the Year and winning the National Championship.  The Chargers used their Third Overall Pick on the Buckeye, and it proved to be the correct decision.

2023 Pre-Season Rank #51, 2022 Pre-Season Rank #60, 2021 Pre-Season Rank #82, 2021 Pre-Season Rank #97.  Peak Period: 2017-21

The 2016 Defensive Rookie of the Year could not add much to his Hall of Fame after 2021, as in 2022, he missed most of the season due to a groin injury.  When he returned, he hampered the Chargers in their playoff game against Jacksonville when he took his helmet off in frustration over a Jags Touchdown.  The penalty helped the Jags win the game, and Bosa was the bonehead of the week.  Last year, the senior Bosa also saw him deal with injuries, but if he is healthy in 2024, there is every reason to think he could reclaim all the spots he lost on this rank.
