The Chargers signed the former first-round pick on Wednesday. Leatherwood was the 17th overall pick by the Las Vegas Raiders in the 2001 NFL draft. He started all 17 regular-season games as a rookie, with 13 coming at right guard. He also started at right guard during the Raiders’ playoff game at Cincinnati.
Leatherwood was waived by the Raiders during the 2022 preseason. He was claimed by the Chicago Bears and played four games. He spent time on the Cleveland Browns practice squad last season. In 2020 at Alabama, Leatherwood was a first-team AP All-America selection and also won the Outland Trophy, which is awarded to the nation’s top offensive lineman.
