Adding more depth to the linebacker room is a necessity for the Chargers. They could be hoping for a former Wisconsin product to help the positional group this upcoming season.
According to Draft Wire’s Justin Melo, Los Angeles had a pre-draft meeting with LB Chris Orr.
Orr, the 6-foot and 224 pounder enjoyed a productive 2019 campaign, finishing with 78 tackles, 14 tackles for loss, 11.5 sacks and five passes defended. His efforts earned him All-Big-Ten recognition.
Even though he had a great final season for the Badgers, Orr wasn’t invited to the NFL Scouting Combine. However, Wisconsin still held their annual pro day where he posted solid athletic testing numbers.
Orr ran a 4.65-second 40, a 4.08-second 20-yard shuttle, and a 6.99-second three-cone drill.
In the Chargers defense, Orr would be used primarily near the line of scrimmage as an additional pass-rusher since he wasn’t tasked with dropping back in coverage often in college. Additionally, he would be a key special teamer.
Orr projects as a Day 3 selection.
