Video: How Does Quentin Johnston Fit Into The New Chargers Offense?
And I think Ladd McConkey's going to be the move around guy. There's really no reason that he at his size needs to be an X receiver, even though he's a good press coverage receiver.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Positioned as versatile 'move around guy' similar to Tyreek Hill in Miami system.

Matt Harmon projects Ladd McConkey as the primary 'move around guy' in the Chargers' two-receiver heavy personnel sets, similar to how Tyreek Hill was deployed with Miami. Despite being a good press coverage receiver, McConkey's size doesn't necessitate X receiver positioning, positioning him for more versatile usage under McDaniel.
