Gadsden, a fifth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft out of Syracuse, has tallied 44 receptions for 609 yards and two touchdowns this year. The 22-year-old has posted over 60 receiving yards in five games.

Though Gadsden is a key playmaker in the Chargers' offense in 2025, he's off to a quiet start in Week 17 against the Houston Texans.
