It has been an incredible start to Ladd McConkey's NFL career. The Los Angeles Chargers breakout wide receiver has been lighting up the stat sheet week in and week out, and quickly has become Justin Herbert's favorite target.

After winning two consecutive national championships with the Georgia Bulldogs, McConkey was drafted by Jim Harbaugh's Chargers in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft and has not disappointed.

During his rookie campaign, McConkey has recorded 1,054 yards and seven touchdowns on 77 receptions.
