The Chargers have drafted former Notre Dame offensive tackle Joe Alt with the 5th pick in the 2024 NFL draft
Son of former Kansas City Chief Offensive Tackle John Alt, Joe Alt is set to take his pedigree to the NFL stage. Joe Alt is a physical specimen measuring in at 6’8”, 322 pounds, and that size translates into on field dominance at the left tackle position. Last year, Alt only allowed 1 sack and 5 pressures while earning a spot on the First Team All-American team.
A left tackle, Alt should make an immediate impact for the rebuilding Chargers . Great news for Herbert and the Chargers offense, Alt will be an instrumental part of keeping Herbert upright for the foreseeable future.
