All Bolts From The Blue insights about David Njoku
PositiveRoleSep 15, 2026
Consistent offensive weapon in Week 1 with 71.9 PFF grade; caught all 5 passes thrown his way, establishing himself as the only other reliable target alongside McConkey in the offense.NegativeRoleAug 31, 2026
Njoku has to become more consistent as a run blocker; he did not look comfortable blocking on the move during the preseason and was directly related to why the Chargers' only drive against the Niners was a three-and-out.NegativeRoleAug 26, 2026
Veteran tight end recorded 40.6 overall PFF grade with a run block grade of 27.9, the worst among offensive players. Njoku could not execute his assignments and was a big reason the starters only got three plays on their sole drive of the game. However, the source notes he had just two games in 2025 where he was graded below 50.0 as a run blocker, so the Chargers hope this was just a fluke against a well-coached defense.NegativeRoleAug 21, 2026
Njoku was beaten to the outside on the Chargers' opening play, resulting in a one-yard loss on a sweep to Omarion Hampton. He was unable to seal the edge effectively on the play.NegativeInjuryAug 17, 2026
TE David Njoku was among 10 players not suited up for Monday's practice; the source indicates this is highly likely due to the coaching staff giving out well-deserved veteran rest days rather than injury concerns.PositiveRoleAug 4, 2026
David Njoku is part of a promising tight end trio expected to benefit from McDaniel's high-octane offensive system; the impact should be felt across the entire offense including the tight end group.
