A 6-foot-5 target who bounced through three programs before landing with the Chargers as an undrafted free agent.
Jerand Bradley played wide receiver at Texas Tech, Boston College and Kansas State before going undrafted in the 2026 NFL Draft and signing with the Los Angeles Chargers, where his size projects him as a red-zone and move tight end option. His long, winding college path makes him one of the more well-traveled names on the roster.
Path to the league
Born in Dallas and raised in Frisco, Texas, Bradley starred at John Paul II High School before transferring to DeSoto High School for his senior year, catching 57 passes for 784 yards and 8 touchdowns. He began his college career at Texas Tech, transferred to Boston College for 2024, and finished with a graduate season at Kansas State in 2025. He went undrafted in the 2026 NFL Draft and signed with the Los Angeles Chargers.
Career highlights
Bradley's best statistical season came in 2022 at Texas Tech, when he caught 51 passes for 744 yards and 6 touchdowns and was later named to the preseason All-Big 12 team ahead of 2023. At 6-foot-5 and 241 pounds, his size and catch radius have drawn evaluators' attention as a possible move tight end at the next level despite playing receiver throughout college.
2025 season recap
In his lone season at Kansas State, Bradley caught 13 passes for 184 yards and 2 touchdowns across 9 games while working through injuries. He went undrafted afterward and signed with the Los Angeles Chargers as a free agent.
