The baby-faced long-armed son of former Chiefs standout left tackle John Alt kept Maxx Crosby at bay last week
Los Angeles Chargers offensive tackle Joe Alt enters the field before an NFL football game against the Las Vegas Raiders, Sunday, Sept. 8, 2024, in Inglewood, Calif. The rapid transformation of the Chargers from bad to dangerous was further evident last Sunday when rookie blocker Joe Alt stymied Raiders edge rusher Maxx Crosby.
The 21-year-old rookie was adjusting to a move from left tackle to right tackle plus noise from Raiders fans that muddied the communications of Chargers offensive players at the Kroenke Dome. As the 6-foot-8 ½, 321-pound, baby-faced long-armed son of former Chiefs standout left tackle John Alt won snap after snap against the three-time All-Pro Crosby, Schwartz’s narration shifted into dry incredulity.
The Chargers now have two in Alt and Rashawn Slater, who’ve both shown themselves as capable run blockers.
