Following their eight selections in the 2022 NFL draft, the Chargers signed 14 undrafted free agents.
Here’s the full list followed by a quick breakdown for each player.
QB Brandon Peters, Illinois
Peters is a sixth-year senior who began his career at Michigan as a four-star recruit. Injuries took their toll and resulted in a transfer to Illinois, where he started for three seasons. In 2021, he went 91 of 169 for 1,170 yards, 7 TDs, and 4 interceptions in nine games played. Peters has an above-average arm that he’s willing to take chances with, but he’s an early bailer from the pocket when the rush threatens to get near.
RB Kevin Marks Jr., Buffalo
Marks was long the complementary back to Commanders RB Jaret Patterson at Buffalo. 2021 was his lone season as a starter, with 414 yards and 5 TDs on 108 carries in 9 games to his name.

He followed that up with 1,065 in 2021, becoming just the 12th Mountaineer to log back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons. What relegated him to the ranks of the undrafted is a lack of speed – his 4.64 40 is in just the 42nd percentile for running backs. Brown is a throwback rusher who lacks dynamism but will drag tacklers for miles before finally hitting the dirt. He’s also a potential fullback convert if he can show value on special teams.
WR Trevon Bradford, Oregon State
With 151 career receptions for 1,904 yards and 14 TDs as well as 26 kick returns for 263 yards, the 5’9” Bradford joins the Bolts as a potential developmental slot receiver and kickoff return specialist. He lacks the size to win outside on a…
