Chargers OL Zion Johnson's future debated after mixed 2025 performance

Chargers offensive lineman Zion Johnson's future is under debate after a mixed 2025 season. While he excelled as one of the NFL's best run blockers (79.3% run block win rate, 2nd among guards), his pass protection was a concern, with ESPN's Aaron Schatz ranking him 62nd out of 65 qualifying guards (87.4% pass block win rate). Despite his first-round pedigree, his play hasn't consistently met expectations, leading ESPN to suggest he could benefit from a "fresh start." Johnson completed his fourth consecutive season with over 1000 snaps played, making his contract year decision pivotal for the Chargers.
