The defensive tackle, who played 43 games at UCLA, gets picked in the fifth round and could help improve the Chargers’ run defense
COSTA MESA — UCLA defensive tackle Otito Ogbonnia already knew he was going to the Chargers before they picked him in the fifth round of the 2022 NFL draft Saturday.
Ogbonnia, who played in 43 games with the Bruins, said he enjoyed the vibe from Chargers’ coaches after their productive meeting. “The vibe I got, something just told me, ‘This is the place I can be most successful and the place I needed to be.’ Just being under that staff, being under that defense, somewhere where I can really excel. It kinda went both ways. I think they saw it out of me and I saw it out of them. I knew it was going to be my top destination that I wanted to go to.”
