Early in the free-agent signing period, the Chargers added cornerback J.C. Jackson, giving their defense a much-needed boost.
Also, Los Angeles was significantly impacted by trading for Bear's edge rusher Khalil Mack.
As the phrase goes, rush and cover go hand in hand, so Jackson and Mack should complement one another.
Jackson expressed excitement about working with a pass rush that includes Mack and Joey Bosa to reporters on Friday.
According to Jackson, I've never played with a pass rush like that, according to ESPN's Lindsey Thiry. Having those two men take on the quarterback, I think I can commit more turnovers.
Throughout his first four seasons with New England, Jackson has demonstrated a keen eye for football. With 25 interceptions since his league debut in 2018, he has the most in the league. He deflected 23 passes, which is the most in the company, for nine in 2020 and eight in 2021.
Last season, the Chargers finished 32nd in third-down defense, 29th in points allowed, and 23rd in total defense. With new additions to the team like Jackson and Mack, those rankings ought to rise dramatically in 2022.
