Chargers Sign 18 UDFAs

April 30th, 2023 at 4:58pm CST by Ely Allen

After selecting seven new players in the 2023 NFL Draft, the Chargers announced their undrafted free agent signings. Here are the 18 undrafted rookies who will be looking to make their mark this summer:

OLB Brevin Allen, Campebll
S Tyler Baker-Williams, NC State
C Johari Branch, Maryland
CB Cam Brown, Ohio State
WR Terrell Bynum, USC
DL Jerrod Clark, Coastal Carolina
RB Elijah Dotson, Northern Colorado
LB Nathan East, Samford
TE Michael Ezeike, UCLA
OLB Andrew Farmer, Lane College
S A.J. Finley, Mississippi
RB Tyler Hoosman, North Dakota
LB Mikel Jones, Syracuse
DL Terrance Lang, Colorado
T Nicolas Melsop, Delta State
CB Tiawan Mullen, Indiana
CB A.J. Uzodinma, Ball State
WR Pokey Wilson, Florida State

Clark is set to receive a $100K base salary, in addition to a $5K signing bonus, according to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2. He was a three-year starter as a nose tackle in Myrtle Beach. He overcame quite a few obstacles to find an NFL opportunity, switching from tight end in college, gaining muscle and weight, and working through multiple injuries. He’ll work hard to earn a spot in the defensive line rotation for Los Angeles.

Lang also earned a bit over the minimum, according to Wilson. His deal includes $50K guaranteed, $30K of salary and $20K in a signing bonus. The Colorado pass rusher had 9.5 sacks and 20.0 tackles for loss for the Buffaloes over four years of play.

Mullen is the younger brother of Ravens cornerback Trayvon Mullen. He earned first-team All-American honors in 2020 but was limited due to injuries after that. He ended his career at Indiana with five interceptions, 33 passes defensed, and four forced fumbles.
