It took one preseason game for Los Angeles Chargers fans to get excited about the future of the team's offense with some of the performances during the Hall of Fame Game.

One of the most memorable performances of the game came from rookie wide receiver KeAndre Lambert-Smith, who seemingly let everyone know that he can make an impact during his first season.

Lambert-Smith isn't the only rookie receiver looking to make an impact in their first season with the Chargers. Second-round pick Tre Harris has already turned some heads with some flashy plays during camp.

On Saturday, Harris spoke to the media about the bond he has created with Lambert-Smith in their short time together.

Being roommates during camp is creating an ever-lasting bond between the rookie receivers, who both were in the SEC last season playing for Ole Miss and Auburn.

Head coach Jim Harbaugh has completely changed the look of this roster since arriving last season. On Paper, this could be the most talented receiving unit that quarterback Justin Herbert has had since becoming the quarterback for the franchise.

Ladd McConkey will obviously lead the receiving unit into the 2025 season; however, having two hungry rookies looking for playing time should make everyone excited about the potential of this offense.
