The Chargers could be looking to add more pieces to the linebacker room in the upcoming draft.
According to Draft Wire’s Justin Melo, Los Angeles has facetimed with former California linebacker Evan Weaver.
Weaver, the 6-foot-3 and 237 pounder played in 49 career games, starting in 31 of them. He started his collegiate career as a defensive end, but then moved to the linebacker position his sophomore campaign.
Weaver projects as a Mike linebacker at the next level. His ability to stop the run inside the box is what he will flourish at, along with his instincts in zone coverage.
In four seasons, Weaver was one of the most productive linebackers in the country, amassing 407 tackles, 23.5 tackles for loss, 11 passes defensed, 8.5 sacks and two interceptions.
Weaver currently projects as a fourth or fifth-round selection.
