- The Chargers are 0-3, and the early-season stock report is already splitting in two directions.
- On one side is Justin Eboigbe, who has turned a handful of snaps into a legitimate reason to keep watching.
- Eboigbe’s latest flash came in the Week 3 loss to Buffalo, when he forced a fumble on the Bills’ first play.
- Eboigbe has been part of that, and the week-to-week growth has been noticeable enough that he is being framed as a possible rising defensive star rather than just another rotational lineman.
- Through three games, he has six receptions for 64 yards on 16 targets, with four drops and a 47.8 contested catch rate.
- Eboigbe is giving them something concrete on defense.
