Los Angeles Chargers take North Murray’s Ladd McConkey in second round of NFL Draft

The Los Angeles Chargers took North Murray High School grad Ladd McConkey in the second round of the NFL draft.

The Chargers, who chose Notre Dame left tackle Joe Alt over wideouts Malik Nabers and Rome Odunze with the fifth overall pick, traded up to take Georgia’s Ladd McConkey at No. 34.

Justin Herbert will be counting on him to fill the void following the departures of Keenan Allen and Mike Williams.

“Just watching his game, it comes easy to him,” McConkey said of Herbert. “He can make any and every throw. Excited to get out there, get in rhythm with him, show him what I can do and gain his trust.”
