David Njoku Bio

David Njoku is an NFL tight end for the Los Angeles Chargers. As of September 15, 2026, he is listed on the Chargers’ active roster as No. 83. Njoku stands 6-foot-4 and weighs 246 pounds, and he attended the University of Miami after growing up in Cedar Grove, New Jersey. Born July 10, 1996, he entered pro football as a highly regarded athletic tight end with experience as a receiver and blocker.

The Cleveland Browns selected Njoku in the first round of the 2017 NFL Draft, 29th overall, after he played two seasons for Miami following a redshirt year. His 2016 Miami campaign brought honorable mention All-ACC recognition, and he declared for the draft after that season. Njoku spent his first nine NFL seasons with Cleveland, earned a Pro Bowl selection following the 2023 season, and agreed to terms with the Chargers on May 11, 2026. His profile is that of a rangy receiving tight end: a seam and matchup threat with speed, explosive run-after-catch ability and the versatility to align inside or outside; pre-draft scouting also identified developing in-line blocking strength as an area for growth.
