While the majority of the organization focuses on the general manager search and head coach Jim Harbaugh’s introductory press conference on Thursday, four members of the Chargers organization have traveled to Frisco, TX for the East-West Shrine Bowl.
Practices for the all-star event kicked off Saturday. Here are five players who stood out on the offensive side of the ball.
WR Malik Washington, Virginia

One of the more hyped players coming into the week, Washington proved many people, this outlet included, correct about the excitement. Working primarily out of the slot, the former Cavalier made life difficult for defensive backs all afternoon with a lightning-quick combination of release and footwork. Like Johnson, Washington also won at every level on Saturday, including an incredible tracking job over his opposite shoulder on a deep throw during one-on-ones.

WR Jalen Coker, Holy Cross
G Christian Mahogany, Boston College

Billed as the best offensive lineman in Frisco, Mahogany was nearly perfect during the team session of Saturday’s practice. One-on-ones were a touch rockier – Northern Iowa defensive tackle Khristian Boyd beat him on a push-pull move and Florida State lineman Fabien Lovett battled strongly with him. But overall, Mahogany showed the elite power traits he put down on film during his Eagles career and endeared himself to many evaluators in attendance.
