The Chargers met with former Utah State quarterback Jordan Love at the Combine and had a virtual pre-draft meeting with him.

But the interest in Love doesnt stop there.

According to ESPNs Jeremy Fowler, the Chargers are among a few teams doing varying levels of homework on Love.

Fowler reports that seven NFL head coaches have called Matt Wells, who coached Love at Utah State in 2017 and 2018, about the signal-caller.

Wells believes teams are trying to get the complete story on Love, who raised eyebrows after a phenomenal sophomore season only to regress in nearly every statistical category the following year.

In 2018, Love completed 64% of his passes for 3,567 yards, 32 touchdowns and only six interceptions. But in 2019, he saw his total touchdowns drop from 39 to only 20 while also seeing an uptick in interceptions (17).

Not only did Love have a completely new coach after Wells left to Texas Tech last season, he lost all but one starter on the offensive side of the ball.

Theres reason to believe that had a huge impact on his regression in his final season, which is why teams have been getting in touch with his coach from his better playing days.

Even though he made some head scratching throws this past season, the 6-foot-4 and 224 pounders ability to make any throw on the field from multiple set points is very impressive, which is why he has drawn comparisons to Chiefs Patrick Mahomes.

Should the Chargers bank on the high-risk, high-reward player, they will likely have to use their No. 6 overall selection on him since the chances of him being available in the second-round are slim.

Love could benefit from sitting behind Tyrod Taylor in his first season to adapt to the pace of the NFL and get coached up to avoid making the same mistakes he did in his junior campaign before taking the reins.
