Top 10 Greatest San Diego Chargers Players of All Time

The Top Ten
1 LaDainian Tomlinson LaDainian Tramayne Tomlinson is a former professional American football player who was a running back in the National Football League for eleven seasons.

You can easily make an arguement that in his prime LT was the greatest running back of all time he is easily in the top 5. Using that logic nobody even comes close to the greattness of LT. I would love for him to finish out his career as a Charger maybe spending a year or two as a backup/tutor to ryan matthews

There is no Change for anyone to be the best except for this man

2 Dan Fouts

Props to everyone on this list, but Fouts is easily the best Charger ever.

Super good qb

3 Junior Seau

Knew him when he played football on base at Camp Pendleton, CA. when he was a very young man and was a great player then.

All I got to say is he lead the chargers to there first super bowl and had the best defense by 1998

4 Lance Alworth
5 Philip Rivers Philip Michael Rivers is a former American football quarterback. He played for the San Diego/Los Angeles Chargers from 2004 to 2019 and for the Indianapolis Colts in the 2020 season. ...read more.
6 Charlie Joiner
7 Antonio Gates Antonio Ethan Gates, Jr. is an American football tight end for the San Diego Chargers of the National Football League.
8 Kellen Winslow
9 Chuck Muncie
10 Shawne Merriman
The Contenders
11 Ron Mix
12 Wes Chandler
13 Fred Dean
14 John Jefferson

Possibly the best hands in NFL history; too bad he asked for a lot more money after only two great seasons, and was traded off the Green Bay where his fingers were too numb to work.

15 Drew Brees Drew Christopher Brees is an American football quarterback for the New Orleans Saints of the National Football League. He is the only player to have back to back to back 5,000 yards in three seasons straight. Brees also has the all time best completion percentage with 66.95%.

Before he made New Orleans a great team and Super Bowl Champions. Brees played here. He was drafted by the Chargers in the 2001 draft, and it took him 3 seasons to groom as a great quarterback. But as the 2004 season began, he was ready to show that he belongs. Leading the team to 12 great regular season wins, he passed for 3,159 yards with 27 touchdown passes and only 7 interceptions and he was good enough to earn him NFL comeback Player of the Year, but it was only the beginning for him.

16 Rolf Benirschke

Here's a case of a great player trying to be a great TV host. Rolf was of course a great kicker for the Chargers, playing in the 1982 Pro Bowl and scored 766 points, the most by a Chargers placekicker when he retired. He's of course famous for his game winning field goal that ended the EPIC IN MIAMI against the Dolphins in the 1981 AFC Playoffs. He's a member of the 40th and 50th Chargers Anniversary Team and the 1983 NFL Man of the Year. Oh, by the way he failed to be a great game show host on a show called Wheel of Fortune. But let's remember him as one of the all-time NFL great place kickers.
