As the Los Angeles Chargers gear up for the 2025 NFL season, second-year defensive lineman Justin Eboigbe looks to leverage his added size and experience to make a significant impact. Selected in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, Eboigbe had a quiet rookie season, appearing in five games with minimal statistics.

Chargers defensive coordinator Jesse Minter, however, has been optimistic about Eboigbe's development. After gaining over 20 pounds and training rigorously with the team's strength coach, Eboigbe is poised to benefit from a defensive scheme that elevated the Chargers from 24th in points allowed in 2023 to the league's top defense in 2024. With an offensive-minded draft aimed at enhancing support for Pro Bowl quarterback Justin Herbert, the Chargers are keen to continue their defensive dominance, potentially giving Eboigbe more opportunities to shine in 2025.
