STM Take
First STTM ranking since his rookie season at tier 5 (#40) shows the role has stabilized after two years of position uncertainty. The Georgia 2021 national championship pedigree plus the 6th-round value-pick profile gives him a real technical foundation. At 26 with the 2025 tier 5 finish establishing baseline, the 2026 trajectory depends on whether the Chargers commit to a defined role (LT, RT, or interior).
Salyer came out of Georgia as the Los Angeles Chargers' 6th-round pick (195th overall) in 2022 after starting 28 games for the Bulldogs' 2021 national championship team. The Chargers initially used him as a guard, then transitioned him to tackle when Rashawn Slater's 2023 injury opened the role. His rookie 2022 finish was tier 8 (#76), then he disappeared from STTM rankings for two years before the 2025 jump to tier 5 (#40) as he settled into a starter swing-tackle role.
Strengths
- Georgia 2021 national championship pedigree (28 college starts) plus three NFL seasons of survival from a 6th-round pick confirms above-baseline technique.
- Position versatility (LG, RG, LT, RT) gives him meaningful roster value as a chess piece across the offensive line.
Concerns
- Two years between STTM rankings (2022 #76, then nothing until 2025 #40) shows the path to stable starter snaps has been non-linear.
- Chargers' 1st-round investments at tackle (Joe Alt, Rashawn Slater) compress Salyer's structural position to swing-tackle or interior depth.
What to watch: Whether the Chargers commit Salyer to a defined 2026 starter role at guard or tackle, or whether he remains a positional swing piece.
