New Chargers Signee Anderson Ready to Make the NEC Miss

New Chargers signee Jaxson Anderson hasn’t played in the cold, but he’s pretty sure he can get used to it.

The Florida WR got his offer to New Haven in the fall after attending a camp earlier in the year. He got the chance to visit later in the season and loved what he saw.

“While I was up there, they made me feel super comfortable,” he said. “Coach Powell and his coaching staff basically made the atmosphere. And I saw the culture of their program and it felt like a great program, great students, great people. Everyone out there was amazing.”

He went home, talked it over, and made the call to commit.

Coach Walker was his primary recruiter for the Chargers. Anderson built a great relationship with him, but he also developed one with Coach Zamot, who will be his position coach in the wide receivers room.

Anderson compares his game to Ladd McConkey, because they’re both receivers who thrive on creating yards after the catch. “I feel like I can create space from the DB well,” Anderson told us. “I'm always trying to get more yards and make guys miss.”

We joked about the cold weather for a receiver from Florida, but Anderson did note that he skis and snowboards. So the cold won’t actually be a problem for the Charger.

He did have the chance to watch AJ Duffy this season and is excited about the chance to start catching balls from the experienced signal caller for New Haven. “I'm super excited to get a new experienced quarterback and come from high school and basically getting that quarterback that has been in college for a few years, has a lot of development.” You can’t do much better transitioning from high school than AJ Duffy as your QB1.

Anderson will join the Chargers in late summer. Hopefully, he’ll have plenty of time to adjust to the cold.
