Austin Ekeler: A Charger No More, But How Many Did He Charge Through?
Ah, Austin Ekeler. The elusive runner. The touchdown machine (seriously, 69 touchdowns? Nice!). The guy who makes defenses look sillier than a clown college entrance exam. But one question has been burning on fans' minds ever since he jetted off to Washington D.C. like a runaway fumble: How many teams has Austin Ekeler actually played for?
The Shocking Truth (or Not That Shocking)
QuickTip: Scan for summary-style sentences.
Prepare yourselves for a plot twist so dramatic, M. Night Shyamalan would be taking notes... Austin Ekeler has played for a WHOPPING two teams in his NFL career! Gasp! I know, right? Mind. Blown.
Tip: Reread complex ideas to fully understand them.
- Los Angeles Chargers (2017-2023): Here, Ekeler carved his name into Charger lore. He wasn't just a running back, he was a weapon, a swiss army knife who could both juke defenders out of their cleats and snag passes like a human spider monkey.
- Washington Commanders (2024-present): In a move that surprised many (and maybe disappointed a few heartbroken Charger fans), Ekeler signed with the Commanders this year. Will he become the offensive leader they crave? Only time, and maybe some epic stiff-arms, will tell.
So there you have it, folks. Not a whole lot of team-hopping for our favorite running back. Maybe he just likes to get comfortable? Maybe loyalty is his middle name (though it actually isn't, but it could be!).
QuickTip: A careful read saves time later.
