Our All-Time Top 50 Los Angeles Chargers Have Been Revised to reflect the 2023 Season
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.

Our All-Time Top 50 Los Angeles Chargers are now up
Yes, we know that this is taking a while!
As many of you know, we here at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the 50 of each major North American sports team. We have a new one to unveil today, that of the Los Angeles Chargers.
The Los Angeles Chargers came into existence in 1960 as a charter member of the American Football League.
The stay in Los Angeles was brief, as they moved south to San Diego the season after, but this was one of the most successful teams in the AFL. They would make the playoff five times in the upstart league, winning the AFL Title in 1963.
The Chargers would be part of the AFL-NFL merger, and while they have had their share of excellent players, they have only made the Super Bowl once, a losing effort in 1994. In 2016, the Chargers moved back to Los Angeles.
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 NFL.
3. Playoff accomplishments.
4. Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles not reflected in a stat sheet.
Remember, this is ONLY based on what a player does on that particular team and not what he accomplished elsewhere and also note that we have placed an increased importance on the first two categories.
This list is updated up until the end of the 2019 Season.
The complete list can be found here, but as always, we announce our top five in this article. They are:
1. Junior Seau
4. Dan Fouts
We will continue our adjustments on our existing lists and will continue developing our new lists.
Look for our more material coming soon!
Up next, will be the top 50 Cincinnati Bengals.
As always we thank you for your support.
3. Lance Alworth
The San Francisco 49ers of the NFL and the Oakland Raiders of the AFL both drafted Lance Alworth, but it was the AFL where Alworth would join after his AFL rights were traded to the San Diego Chargers before his 1962 rookie season. The Chargers gave up three players for Alworth, and it still turned out to be a robbery in favor of the Bolts.
