The Los Angeles Chargers invested $262.5 million over five years in Justin Herbert last offseason and on Thursday they made a decision to protect their investment. The Chargers selected Notre Dame offensive tackle Joe Alt with the No. 5 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft and he'll be tasked with protecting Herbert's blindside. Alt is a force at 6-foot-9, 321 pounds, and if he can keep Herbert healthy, he'll be a sure fan favorite. In a draft where quarterbacks and wide receivers dominated early, this was a prudent move by new head coach Jim Harbaugh and you can show the trenches some love by ordering your Joe Alt Chargers jersey now at Fanatics.
Alt's length is one of his biggest assets, as he uses his 34 1/4-inch arms to steer opposing rushers. He also has an NFL pedigree, with his father John Alt making two Pro Bowls during a 13-year career with the Chiefs. Alt was a two-time first-team All-American at Notre Dame and he looks tailormade for a long career at left tackle in Los Angeles.
Now he'll join a Chargers roster that is hoping to quickly rebound with Herbert established at quarterback and Harbaugh quickly creating a winning culture. Alt will also be blocking for former Ravens running backs J.K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards, who both joined the Chargers this offseason. Alt will be expected to protect Herbert's blindside for the next decade and you can order your Los Angeles Chargers Joe Alt jersey now.
