– The Chargers have requested an interview with Rams assistant head coach and defensive pass game coordinator Aubrey Pleasant, a veteran with 13 NFL seasons under his belt. 🏈
– Pleasant helped the Rams own the league’s 10th-best takeaways defense, anchoring a unit that sparked big plays all season 📊.
– His standout moment came in 2020 as the Rams’ corners coach, grooming stars like Aqib Talib, Marcus Peters, and Jalen Ramsey while the team led the NFL in passing defense 🔥.
– He’s no stranger to interviews for top DC jobs ( Bears, Jaguars, and Bengals have shown interest in the past), but this would be his first true DC opportunity if the Chargers pull the trigger.
– A potential pairing with OC Mike McDaniel could offer a perfect balance of X’s-and-O’s smarts from the Shanahan/McVay tree, while Pleasant brings elite playmaking and prep-driven leadership to Harbaugh’s vision for the defense 🧠🏈.
– Pleasant believes that preparation meeting opportunity often looks like luck—could the Chargers be about to cash in on both? 🔥📊
Stay tuned as LA weighs a dynamic, playmaking-focused defensive staff for a faster, tougher pursuit of success at SoFi. 🏈🚀
