The Los Angeles Chargers made an interesting move following the 2025 NFL Draft.

Despite a disappointing season in Tallahassee, the Chargers decided to bring in former Florida State quarterback DJ Uiagalelei as an undrafted free agent. However, could Uiagalelei look to try out a different position at the NFL level?

Shortly after Uiagalelei signed with the Chargers, NFL insider Albert Greer speculated on Uiagalelei's future, noting he'll watching to see if the quarterback moves to tight end.

"Will be interesting to see if he winds up at tight end," Greer wrote on social media.

It is worth noting that Los Angeles listed Uiagalelei as a quarterback in a release announcing the addition of 18 undrafted free agents.

By all accounts, Uiagalelei appears to be preparing himself to continue playing quarterback. He threw passes in front of NFL scouts and other personnel at Florida State's Pro Day in March, his first public outing since a season-ending injury to his throwing hand in 2024.

During his lone season at Florida State, Uiagalelei also dealt with a leg injury. He completed 84/156 passes for 1,065 yards with four touchdowns to six interceptions in five starts.

Uiagalelei began his college career at Clemson and also spent a year at Oregon State. In his five seasons, he completed 779/1,332 passes for 9,384 yards with 61 touchdowns to 30 interceptions. He rushed 380 times for 1,124 yards and 21 more scores.
