The Los Angeles Chargers are about to experience something new.

Mike McDaniel is in town and as the new offensive coordinator, a move that Jim Harbaugh is certainly hoping will lead to some different results for the Chargers in the future. Given that McDaniel will have weapons like Ladd McConkey and Keenan Allen (maybe!) to work with in the future, it stands to reason that things will work out.

McConkey and Allen took some time to join us while on Radio Row at Super Bowl LX in San Francisco to discuss a variety of things. We even played SB Nation’s “in-5” with them with Jim Harbaugh as the final answer. You can watch our conversation below.

Overall it seems obvious that these two have a really strong connection which is why they are each other’s wingman by way of Bounty. You can’t have football without wings and you really shouldn’t have wings without Bounty.

Whether or not Keenan Allen is back in the fold next season remains to be seen for the Chargers, but he did note that McDaniel is going to great for Justin Herbert which is interesting to hear.

We will see!
