NFL News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now! — Chargers Snag Mesidor: Pass Rush Gets Meaner. Machine-transcribed; use the interactive transcript above to jump the player to any line.
On April 24th, the Los Angeles Chargers just snagged Miami-Ed's Resher Akeem Messy Door with the 22nd pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. This guy is a beast at pressure in quarterbacks, topping the ACC with 12.5 sacks in 2025, plus 17.5 tackles, for loss and four forced fumbles. He's stepping in as a 25-year-old rookie when the season kicks off, which is older than most, but his college tape shows he's ready to. Contribute right away. Messy Door helped Miami push all the way to the college football playoff national championship last year. Fans lit up social media with praise, calling him the top-edge guy left on the board, and a perfect match for Jim Harboss tough style. Some noted the age risk, but most see him fitting seamlessly with Vets by Khalil Mack and Derwin James Jr. Diving deeper, he earned first team all ACC honors, becoming the first Miami player to lead the conference in sacks since 2019. Messy Door even views his maturity as a plus for handling the NFL grind.
Chargers fans, this past rush just got a whole lot meaner. Messy Door's violence off the edge could turn games in their favor starting day one. That's the story for today, NFL News Today, driven by AI. I'm Corey with The Story.
