The retooling of the Chargers offensive line began with the acquisitions of guard Trai Turner and tackle Bryan Bulaga. However, the positional group is still not completely shored up.
The left tackle spot is the biggest need, but there are still questions that lie with interior part of the offensive line. To fix it, Los Angeles has their eyes on one that they possibly believe could help the unit from the upcoming draft.
According to Houston Chronicle’s Aaron Wilson, L.A. is scheduled to have a pre-draft FaceTime meeting with former Washington center Nick Harris.
Harris started 42 of 54 games at center (24), left guard (15) and right guard (3) for the Huskies. He was named twice to the First-Team All-Pac-12 team and honorable mention once.
Even though he is undersized, the 6-foot and 302 pound Harris is a polished player, using his quickness, physicality and fundamentally sound approach in both pass protection and the run blocking department.
For the Chargers, Harris is capable of playing all three interior offensive line positions. Known for his athletic ability, he would be ideal for the new offensive scheme that will likely be incorporated starting next season.
Harris projects as third or fourth-round selection.
