Welcome to Part 2 of my rankings of the 20 players most important to the Los Angeles Chargers' success in 2025. Part 1 ran earlier this week, counting down players 20 to 11. Below is the top 10. A quick reminder: These are not necessarily the 20 best players on the Chargers roster. Instead, these are the 20 players I think will have the biggest impact on how the Chargers perform this season. It is an exercise more geared toward finding the pressure points of the roster.
