The Chargers are on summer break.
The Bolts put in plenty of hard work over the past two months during the offseason program and now get a chance to rest up before training camp starts in mid-July.
With that in mind, here are five things we learned this offseason:
1. The offensive line will be set soon
The majority of the Chargers offensive line is set, including Rashawn Slater and Joe Alt at tackle, with Mekhi Becton slotting in at right guard.
The intrigue remains at left guard and center where Zion Johnson and Bradley Bozeman rotated days at each spot this spring.
Chargers Head Coach Jim Harbaugh said last week that he liked where that duo was at.
"The guys I said that were starting a few, maybe a month or two ago, are in some combination," Harbaugh said. "Zion and Boze have been doing what we had foreseen. That's working out really well."
Harbaugh also noted he wants to get eight to 10 days into training camp before trying to nail down a starting five combination.
"[That] historically is when I typically like to start setting the starting lineups," Harbaugh said. "From now until then, the competition will continue."
Until that competition is settled, it will be among the biggest storylines surrounding the Bolts.
But it sounds like a resolution could come by early August.

2. Daiyan Henley has become a leader
Henley was among the Chargers most important defensive players in 2024 as the unit led the NFL by allowing just 17.7 points per game.
The linebacker led the Chargers with 147 total tackles and played the most defensive snaps on the team with 996 last season.
He was also the only NFL player in 2024 to record at least 120 tackles and more than seven passes defensed during the regular season, all of which came in his first full year as a starter.
But as the 2025 season looms, it's clear that the 25-year-old is turning into a leader off the field, too.
Henley's teammates and coaches echoed that sentiment multiple times in recent weeks.
"I think leadership comes with production, it comes with experience," Chargers Defensive Coordinator Jesse Minter said of Henley. "You have to sort of earn the right to be a leader. When you combine how he operates with the type of play that he put out there last year. He's been phenomenal this offseason."
Derwin James, Jr. added: "He's talking more, he's being that leader, he's confident. I feel like the more Daiyan continues to play, the more he continues to lead, it'll be that much easier for him. He's that type of guy."
Don't be surprised if Henley is voted as a team captain as soon as this season.
3. High hopes for the pass catchers
The Chargers spent the offseason focused on adding offensive weapons for quarterback Justin Herbert.
That was true in the draft with wide receivers Tre' Harris and KeAndre Lambert-Smith and tight end Oronde Gadsden, and in free agency with the additions of Mike Williams and Tyler Conklin.
The hope is that players emerge in camp in order to take pressure off Ladd McConkey, who was sensational as a rookie last season.
Williams and Conklin are veterans and should fit seamlessly into the offense, and Quentin Johnston is expected to take another leap in Year 3.
But keep an eye on the rookie wide receivers, who could offer a much-needed vertical dynamic for Herbert.
"They're picking up the offense really well," Chargers wide receiver coach Sanjay Lal said of Harris and Lambert-Smith. "They're behind physically. They've been on the banquet circuit, going on [top] 30 visits, etc.
"So, their fitness is not like our other guys, so we're bringing them along slowly, but I have seen the skill sets that we drafted those are showing up. Just got to get them more in shape," Lal added.
4. Competition along the D-line
Nobody truly gets a good evaluation of the trenches during spring practices, mostly because those groups need pads to truly show their skills.
But Minter was forthright this spring when he said the Chargers went with a committee approach along the defensive line this offseason.
"We traded maybe one or two guys for two or three guys," Minter said.
Teair Tart is back from a season ago, as are Otito Ogbnnia, Scott Matlock and Justin Eboigbe, the latter of which looks like he bulked up.
But Da'Shawn Hand and Naquan Jones are fresh faces, as is third-round pick Jamaree Caldwell.
There's playing time to be earned in camp and Minter can't wait to watch the competition unfold.
"There's more total, capable guys now than we had at this time last year and let it shake out. That's kind of how I feel about the D-Line," Minter said
5. Harbaugh loves the rookie class
The Chargers struck gold with their 2024 rookie class, a group that included immediate contributors in Alt, McConkey, Tarheeb Still and Cam Hart.
Others such as Junior Colson, Eboigbe and Kimani Vidal could make a bigger impact in Year 2.
But the Bolts 2025 rookie class has already made an impression on Harbaugh and others as multiple coaches have said the entire class has been coachable while displaying impressive work ethics.
Harris recently summed up the mindset of the entire rookie class.
"At times, I'm just wandering around the building like, 'What else can I do for the day?'" Harris said. "I usually end up finding something, whether it's watching film, getting extra treatment or just going out on the field and doing extra."
He later added: "I'm usually always catching that late bus to go back to the hotel."
Gadsden has made headlines for his splash plays on the field, but he's also turned heads for his 5:30 a.m. arrival time at The Bolt.
"When I talk about the rookies and how you have to kick them out of the building, he's like the poster guy for that," Harbaugh said of Gadsden.
The fifth-round tight end said he usually heads to the practice field to run through plays by himself so that he's ready for practice later that day.
"I'll have the plays, just go through them," Gadsden said. "If it's a play that has two tight end personnel, then I'll go through both and if it's just one, I'll just do that one and then move onto the next play and then just go on."
In order to make the playoffs again in 2025, the Bolts will undoubtedly need some help from their first-year players.
So far, so good for that group early in their NFL careers.
