NFL Bloodlines: Los Angeles Chargers Roster Features Sons of Football Legends

The Los Angeles Chargers are not just building a team, they are building a legacy. With three players on their roster who have NFL greats for fathers, the Chargers are setting themselves up for success for years to come.

First up is Brenden Rice, son of the legendary Jerry Rice. While Brenden may never reach the heights of his father, having the greatest wide receiver of all time as a mentor can only benefit his career. The Chargers took a chance on Brenden in the seventh round of the draft, and if he can even come close to emulating his father’s success, the team will have a star on their hands.

Next is Asante Samuel Jr., following in the footsteps of his father, Asante Samuel, a two-time Super Bowl champion. Asante Jr. has already made a name for himself as the team’s No. 1 cornerback and has shown promise in his three years in the league. With time on his side, he has the potential to become a shutdown corner just like his father.

Lastly, Joe Alt, son of former Kansas City Chiefs offensive tackle John Alt, is making waves as this year’s first-round pick. Many believe that Joe has the potential to surpass his father’s success and become an even better offensive lineman. Like the other two players, Joe is playing the same position as his father, continuing the family tradition in the NFL.

While these three players have NFL greats for fathers, it should also be noted that defensive end Joey Bosa’s father, John Bosa, also played in the NFL. Although John’s career was cut short, both of his sons, Joey and Nick Bosa, have found success in the league.

With a roster filled with players who have NFL bloodlines, the Chargers are not just building a team, they are building a dynasty. Watch out for these players as they continue to make a name for themselves in the league and carry on their family legacies.
