NFL Future Watch: Tuli Tuipulotu Football Cards, LA Chargers – Tuli Tuipulotu was drafted by the Los Angeles Chargers with the 54th overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. This linebacker is fast, and he can tackle. That makes him dangerous to the opposition on the gridiron.
The Lawndale, California native was a three-star recruit in Lawndale High School. Tuipulotu had offers from California, Stanford, Utah, Washington, and USC. He chose the University of Southern California.
As a freshman, he played in all six games, and he started three of them. The 2020 season was shortened because of the pandemic. During that season, he had 22 tackles, 2.5 of which were for a loss with two sacks.
In his sophomore season, Tuipulotu had 48 tackles, 7.5 for a loss, and 5.5 sacks. He was named First-Team All-Pac 12 Conference. At that point, he was a leader on the defense and the team overall.
In his junior year, the team bestowed a great honor upon him naming him captain. He ended up leading the FBS with 13.5 sacks! He was a Unanimous All-American and a finalist for three NCAA awards. Tuipulotu was ready for the NFL.
At the 2023 NFL Combine, Tuipulotu ran a 4.97 in the 40-yard dash. The rest didn’t matter. He was known for being a great tackler and being strong and hard to handle. There was no doubt he would be drafted in the first three rounds.
Tuipulotu has had a big impact on the Chargers this season. They’re 4-4 with him in the lineup. Against the New York Jets in week eight, he had five tackles, three were solo, and he added two sacks. He’s quickly becoming an impact player and a must collect as a result.
