The Hall of Fame game gives the Los Angeles Chargers the opportunity to play in a fourth preseason game before the 2025–26 campaign. At the end of July, the Bolts defeated the Detroit Lions by a margin of 27 points. For the first time, the Chargers’ offensive weapons selected in the 2025 NFL Draft were able to display their skills in the NFL. Omarion Hampton, the 22nd overall choice in the 2025 NFL Draft, saw two rushes for nine yards in a single drive during his preseason debut. KeAndre Lambert-Smith, a fifth-round pick, made an impression by leading the Chargers in receiving yards and touchdown receptions. Oronde Gadsden, a Syracuse tight end selected in the sixth round, managed to score seven yards on a single reception.
With the exception of Tre Harris, a wide receiver selected with the 55th overall choice, everything went well for three of the four new recruits. Spencer Schultz of Chargers Wire says Harris needs to do better in his second preseason game against an NFC South opponent after his performance.
Taking on the Saints of New Orleans During the Hall of Fame game, the former Ole Miss Rebel had one target but no receptions. “Don’t worry, Harris will always be on the roster. Having said that, if he hopes to get playing time right away, he will need to do better throughout the preseason. This is especially significant in light of Keenan Allen’s signing earlier this week,” Schultz wrote. Allen gives the wide receiver room depth and leadership, but it will also come at the cost of someone else’s playing time.
Right now, Harris, the second-round rookie, appears to be that individual. On one target, he was held without a catch. That being said, Harris will become more at ease during his first season, so there is no reason to be concerned about him. After spending a season with the Chicago Bears, Allen rejoins the Chargers. Allen, who is in his 12th season in the NFL, showed that he is still a receiving threat to defenses last season with 744 receiving yards and 7 touchdowns. With Allen back and two other incumbents, it is expected to stay after the 53-man cutdown, although Harris won’t play much in the regular season.
Tre Harris Handling Practice Problems Tre Harris was a highly regarded talent in the class when he was selected in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft. In his final collegiate season, Harris recorded more than 1,000 receiving yards and seven touchdowns. However, dropping during practice has been a problem for the former Rebel lately. Daniel Popper of The Athletic said, “Harris hasn’t been bad by any means and remains on track to get a nice chunk of snaps in the base offense, regardless of what happens with a possible Keenan Allen reunion.” “However, during a recent practice session with multiple drops, Harris didn’t help himself.” During the preseason, Harris can get his nerves and any rust cleansed up before the start of the season.
If issues continue, Harris could have a low amount of production in his rookie year.
