Pro Football Focus is just the latest in a line of nationally-reputable NFL publications that are starting to realize just how special this Chargers secondary can be in 2018, dubbing the team’s tertiary level “The Electric Fence” Sunday.

Between the game’s best cover CB, Casey Hayward, and second-year sensation CB Desmond King, the Bolts boast one of the best starting duos in football. But it’s their depth at all positions in the secondary that makes them so scary.

Los Angeles will run out CB Trevor Wiliams as their third option in 2018 at CB, and that’s despite the fact that he finished 2017 as a top-ten player at his position, per PFF. Moreover, L.A. will see the return of a healthy former Pro Bowl CB in Jason Verrett as well as one of the game’s best strong safeties in Jaheel Addae to pair with their dynamic first-round pick from 2018, safety Derwin James.

For a team that few considered more than a punchline after their 0-4 start one season ago, the Bolts have made significant strides in earning the respect of their peers and fans. Should they begin winning regularly now, they just may do what many considered to be impossible, and capture the City of Angels’ attention and passion for a time.
