1. Tranquill originally entered the NFL as a fourth-round pick of the Los Angeles Chargers.
The No. 130 overall pick of the 2019 NFL Draft, Tranquill went on to appear in 47 games (27 starts) for Los Angeles over the last four seasons. He played in 15 games as a rookie (starting three games) and finished the year with the fourth-most total tackles (64) of any Charger.
Tranquill suffered a broken ankle in Week 1 of the 2020 campaign that ended his season before it even had a chance to get started, but he bounced back in a big way the following year with 70 total tackles, five tackles-for-loss and 1.5 sacks in 14 games (7 starts). He then posted his top statistical season as a professional in 2022, recording a team-leading 144 total tackles in 17 games (16 starts).
2. He logged a career-high in snaps last season with more than 1,000.
The 6-foot-2, 234-pound Tranquill was on the field for 1,051 total snaps last season (including the playoffs), which marked more than he had amassed in his previous three seasons combined (947). He certainly made the most of that playing time, too, finishing 12th in the NFL in total tackles (144) while tallying 10 tackles-for-loss, five sacks, a forced fumble and an interception.
He was one of just 15 players to record 100+ tackles in addition to notching at least one sack, one interception and one forced fumble on the year, and among that pool of players, only Chiefs’ linebacker Nick Bolton recorded more total tackles on the season (180) than Tranquill.
It’s all to say that when given an opportunity, Tranquill didn’t waste it.
