    Can’t teach that type of powerful athleticism.

    Only concern I have is the roster might not be totally cast yet. They might pick someone that got waived by another team and Dotson is gone.

    Hope that’s not the case.
    Bolts better not even think of trying to hide Dot on the PS some time this season...I think there's SEVERAL teams that would scoop him up quicker than u can say "Wes Welker"...
    22 - TE Mason Taylor
    55 - RB Quinshon Judkins
    86 - DL Josiah Stewart
    125 - G Dylan Fairchild
    158 - C Jake Majors
    181 - WR Donte Thornton

      Glad to see him on the 53, congratulations. Now we'll get a chance to see him play. I'm sure he's going to play on the PS as well.

        He’s gotta ball when he gets his opportunities if he does we’re in business. If we have a actual run game this year Justin Herbert is going to torch this league.

            We have a run game without him. Moore always has a run game, 2024 PS Chargers have a run game, we have a run game gents!! Damn, its been a long time since we said that

            My guess is coaches see him as Ekeler 2024 and don’t want to risk losing him. I’m not expecting to see him in 2023 much or at all. But coaches surprised me with 4RBs so I’m still betting to get back to even. I saw some great moves, athleticism, and some mistakes which are normal for a UDFA - I am just not forgetting how good Ekeler is yet.

              for this year if he can beat out another guy for a core STs role then he'll be active every Sunday and it'll open up another position for the chargers on the roster...think guys the only play on STs...plus if he's active it opens the door for him to get an occasional rep during the season...keep in mind that as of right now he might already be Davis' primary back up to return kicks too...

                Oh, I think we'll see Dot in the rotation...may be just 1-2 plays a game at first, but I think he'll get more touches as the season progresses...

                  We saw Kelley, Spiller and Dot all break off big gainers for TDs this preseason even though Spiller’s was called back a weak penalty. If it only happened once I wouldn’t think anything of it but multiple long TDs supports your view IMO. I think we’re in business.

                    Unless he is a key ST player, do you really think they will activate 4 RBs?

                      Skillset is similar to Ecklers so if Eckler needs a break I think he will come in to play. Maybe not much playing time in first half of season as he gain familiarity with playbook and team mates.

                        Maybe they'll keep Dot in reserve on game days the first few games...but it's possible we could see them activate Dot in lieu of Spiller if the latter doesn't produce much the first few games...

                          I don't want to see the Faiders or Qweefs take him.

                          Dotson could perhaps be the next Austin Ekeler.​

                          Now that they did away with Horvath, it is possible.
