Charlie KolarTELAC

Charlie Kolar is described as a very underrated, complete every-down tight end who will be the Chargers' primary tight end. Despite being drafted ahead of Isaiah Likely as a pass-catching tight end with Baltimore, he was stuck behind Mark Andrews and suffered an injury in his first training camp that allowed Likely to pass him on the depth chart. However, Kolar was a dominant pass-catcher in college with 2,200 receiving yards and 23 touchdowns in three years at Iowa State, one of the highest catch rates ever for a tight end at the college level. Scott Barrett emphasizes he is not merely a blocking tight end but a high-level receiving threat who will be the Chargers' every-down option. Barrett explicitly states he is 'a big Charlie Kolar guy.'
