Chargers Add to Their Wide Receiving Core

LA signs WR from Purdue Milton Wright

The Chargers have arguably the best and deepest wide receiver room in the league. The likes of Keenan Allen, Mike Williams, Quentin Johnston, and others are sure to set the league on fire, and we cannot wait to see them ball out. 

That should seem like enough, right? Wrong! LA went ahead and bolstered the WR room by adding wide receiver Milton Wright, who went undrafted in this year's draft. 

Purdue WR Milton Wright, who was not selected in this month’s NFL Supplemental Draft, is signing with the Los Angeles Chargers, per source.

Milton is coming from Purdue, where he spent three seasons from 2019-2021. His best season came in 2021, where he tailed 57 receptions for 732 yards with seven touchdowns and was named to the fourth-team All-Big Ten Conference.

He was set to have another great season in 2022 but dealt with academic issues and was ineligible for the season. However, after opting out of the transfer portal after the 2022 season, he entered the 2023 NFL Supplemental Draft. Milton didn't get selected, and he is now a Bolt. 

He will surely be an extra body for the Bolts and fight for a chance to be on the practice squad.
