Chargers' Oronde Gadsden: Makes touchdown grab
Gadsden recorded three catches on four targets for 46 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 30-23 preseason loss.
Gadsden played for well over half of the game and showed off his ability as a pass catcher. His most notable grab was a contested 25-yard touchdown reception delivered by DJ Uiagalelei. Gadsden has gotten some positive attention for his performance during training camp, and he'll head into the first regular season of his pro career with some positive momentum.

Chargers' Oronde Gadsden: Plays behind Dissly
Gadsden made one catch on two targets for 12 yards in Saturday's 23-22 preseason loss to the Rams.
Gadsden started each of the Chargers' first two preseason contests, but the team hadn't played their projected starters in either game. The first-team offense took the field Saturday, with Will Dissly serving as the tight end. Gadsden has received strong reviews for his play during training camp, but it still might take some time for him to make a consistent impact in meaningful game situations.

Chargers' Oronde Gadsden: Making noise at Bolts camp
Gadsden has continued to show up consistently in the passing game during Chargers camp this summer, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Gadsden was selected in the fifth round of the 2025 Draft out of Syracuse, where he erupted for a career receiving line of 143-2,000-14 across just 36 contests. Gadsden is long and athletic, standing at 6-foot-5 and 241 pounds, and his playmaking ability has stood out during practice. Gadsden has started each of the Chargers' first two exhibitions, though it's important to note Los Angeles has yet to field its true first-team offense during the preseason. Gadsden has accrued a 3-22-0 line on five targets while running 35 pass routes during that time. Gadsden is dripping with pass-catching upside, but the Chargers have many mouths to feed on offense, particularly after the signing of Keenan Allen late in the summer. Gadsden is in a crowded tight end room that also includes veterans Will Dissly and Tyler Conklin.

Chargers' Oronde Gadsden: Joining Bolts as Round 5 pick
The Chargers selected Gadsden in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 165th overall.
Gadsden began his college career at Syracuse as a wide receiver before converting to a hybrid tight end. He missed most of the 2024 season due to injury but returned to form in 2024, racking up a career-best 73 receptions for 934 yards and seven touchdowns to claim First Team All-ACC honors. In a run-heavy Jim Harbaugh offense, the 6-foot-5, 241-pound Gadsden doesn't exactly fit the mold as a standout blocker at tight end, but he possesses intriguing receiving skills to split out and stretch the middle of the defense.
