"The Chargers selected former Miami edge rusher Akheem Mesidor at No. 22 overall, making him the heir apparent for Khalil Mack in a pass rushing unit that was hit hard by Odafe Oweh leaving in free agency."
"Mesidor has intimidating credentials. He had 35½ career sacks and posted 12½ sacks with Miami last season in its run to the national championship game."
"The one concern with Mesidor are the injury issues that extended his stay in the college ranks, but he played in 15 games for the Hurricanes last season."
The Chargers selected Akheem Mesidor, a former Miami edge rusher, with the 22nd overall pick in the NFL draft. Mesidor is expected to fill the void left by Odafe Oweh and learn from veterans like Khalil Mack. At 25 years old, he brings significant experience, having recorded 35.5 career sacks and 12.5 sacks last season. Despite concerns about past injuries, he played 15 games last season and earned a high defense grade from Pro Football Focus, indicating his potential impact on the team.
