When asked what kind of player the Chargers were getting, Harbaugh pointed to a player already in the locker room.
“To me, he’s a lot like Khalil Mack,” Harbaugh said. “Direct rusher, has speed, has dip, has ability to set the edge. Been a very good, productive player, young player right in the prime of his career. Those things and others.”
Oweh, a 2021 first-round pick with Baltimore, said Wednesday that he’s fired up to join a position group that includes Mack, Tuli Tuipulotu, Bud Dupree and others.
“Khalil was cool,” Oweh said of Mack, who is currently on Injured Reserve with an elbow injury. “Obviously he’s not out there but the little time I did see him, down to Earth, laid back. You can tell he’s great.
“Tuli, I could tell he’s a dog. Very vocal, seems like he’s a pro mentality,” Oweh added. “The rest of the guys were cool, too. Laid back, joke around but they’re about their business. I respect that.”
Tuipulotu let it be known Wednesday that he was excited to have Oweh on the roster after he let out a yell during Oweh’s media scrum.
The third-year edge rusher, who leads the Bolts with 4.0 sacks, later said he envisions a triple-threat pass rush once Mack returns to the field.
“It just bring an extra threat, extra person everybody has got to worry about. It helps everybody out,” Tuipulotu said. “When the offense is game planning against one person, it opens stuff up for other people. That’s kind of what it is so when he comes in, especially when K-Mack comes back, we’ll be stacked.”
Tuipulotu added: “We’ve just got to build chemistry, show him the standard of what it is here at the Chargers. I think it will be easy for him to catch on with the defense because they run something similar in Baltimore. We’re not worried about him going out there and playing hard, we just have to go out there and play together.”
