STACKED’s take
Ingold's proven McDaniel connection and blocking prowess (20 of Achane's 40 explosive plays) elevates Chargers RB room.
Fullback Alec Ingold signed a two-year, $7.5 million contract with the Chargers ($3.75 million guaranteed) to facilitate Mike McDaniel's run game. McDaniel was Kyle Shanahan's run game specialist in 2017 and run game coordinator from 2018-2020, and his 2025 Dolphins ranked third in the NFL in 21 personnel usage at 25%. Ingold was with McDaniel all four seasons he was the Dolphins' head coach. Notably, 20 of De'Von Achane's 40 explosive plays last season came with Ingold as a key blocker. Ingold brings rare ability to know where he's going and who he needs to take out, whether displacing linebackers in I-formation runs or pulling to take out defensive ends on outside zone concepts. Each of the Chargers' backs—Omarion Hampton, Keaton Mitchell, and Kimani Vidal—should benefit from Ingold's blocking acumen.
