Chargers Hall of Fame adds John Carney, Anthony Miller as enshrinement set for Legend Weekend
The Los Angeles Chargers announced that kicker John Carney and wide receiver Anthony Miller will be inducted into the franchise’s Hall of Fame during Chargers Legend Weekend presented by Mazda, marking the 37th and 38th honorees in team history.
The Los Angeles Chargers will welcome two more names into their Hall of Fame this fall, as the organization announced that kicker John Carney and wide receiver Anthony Miller will be enshrined during Chargers Legend Weekend presented by Mazda. The team’s announcement positions the ceremony as a centerpiece of the franchise’s annual celebration of past players, with Carney and Miller set to become the 37th and 38th individuals honored by the Chargers in the Hall of Fame.
Carney’s case is anchored in volume and longevity, with the Chargers citing him as the team’s all-time leading scorer. A Hall of Fame kicker can define an era simply by being reliable over years, and the organization’s framing suggests the franchise views Carney’s scoring output as the clearest way to measure his impact on Chargers seasons across the span of his career.
Miller’s resume, as described by the Chargers, emphasizes sustained excellence at wide receiver. The team said Anthony Miller will join the Hall of Fame after being selected to the Pro Bowl five times, including four selections with the Bolts. That distribution matters for Chargers fans, because it points to production that was not just a short peak, but repeated recognition during his time in Los Angeles.
For the Chargers’ fan base, the pairing of a franchise scoring leader and a multi-time Pro Bowl receiver creates a balanced snapshot of two different ways to shape football games. Carney’s influence would have come through field position and point accumulation, while Miller’s would have come through creating explosive plays and consistent offensive value as defenses had to account for him.
The Hall of Fame announcement also continues a broader team tradition: using Legend Weekend to connect the present roster to the franchise’s historical identity. By setting the inductions for this fall, the Chargers are tying the offseason-to-regular-season transition to their legacy program, giving the organization an additional narrative hook for fans before the schedule begins.
As with any Hall of Fame weekend announcement, details such as the timing within the fall festivities and the specific event format were not included in the team’s initial release. What is clear is the core message from the Chargers: Carney and Miller are being recognized for franchise-defining accomplishments that the organization believes belong at the top of its institutional memory.
