Hailing from Notre Dame, Hart was projected as a mid-round draft choice, a prediction that came to fruition. In his last season, he recorded 21 tackles, three of which were for a loss, across 12 games for the Fighting Irish.
While not among the top-tier cornerbacks in the draft, Hart possesses the potential to become a significant asset to the Chargers. Despite grappling with injuries throughout his career, Hart’s healthy spells could prove to be invaluable for the team.
With his long, athletic build, Hart brings a wealth of experience to the Chargers, having faced formidable competition in college football. Additionally, his leadership role with the Irish underscores his value as a teammate.
If Hart showcases his skills effectively during training camp and preseason, he could earn early opportunities to contribute on the field for the Chargers, further solidifying his place within the team.
