Josh Palmer Outplays Tyron Johnson And Jalen Guyton
3 years agoLos Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Josh Palmer backed up the buzz he's been getting in training camp with an impressive debut versus the Los Angeles Rams on Saturday. Palmer has been competing with Tyron Johnson and Jalen Guyton for the No. 3 spot on the depth chart and he took a big step forward on Saturday. Palmer received 17 snaps compared to 25 for Guyton and 10 for Johnson. Palmer made the most of his opportunity and caught six of his seven receptions for 36 yards. Guyton was targeted five times, but only caught two balls for 16 yards and Williams caught his lone target for two yards. All three receivers were playing without starting quarterback Justin Herbert behind center and ultimately whoever performs best in training camp with Herbert is likely to leave camp with the No. 3 role. Palmer has been one of the hottest names in Chargers camp and he should be looked at as a sleeper and a late-round target in upcoming drafts.
