Ladd McConkey's wife Sydney gets cozy with Chargers WR while enjoying honeymoon at tropical destination

The life of Ladd McConkey has changed drastically since 2024. The wide receiver was a second-round pick who turned into an NFL star, and off the field, he became engaged to his long-time girlfriend.

The couple got married in April, but their honeymoon had to wait until after the Chargers' mandatory minicamp wrapped up. With training camp not starting until late July, they now have time to prepare for their getaway and enjoy a few days together before the non-stop NFL grind begins for the 2025 season.

McConkey's wife, Sydney, shared on Instagram several pics of their vacation. The couple is spending a few days in a warm place, enjoying the beach and relaxing under the sun. A much different way of life than what the receiver does when he's on the field.

According to their Instagram accounts, the couple officially married on April 12, as the Chargers prepared for the 2025 draft. He played college football for Georgia, and when his name was called in the 2024 draft, Sydney was next to him to celebrate.

Ladd McConkey's special rookie season gave a great weapon for Justin Herbert

As a second-round pick, there wasn't much expectation for Ladd McConkey to become a contributor in his rookie season. He not only emerged as a weapon for Justin Herbert, but he was also the rookie wide receiver with the most receiving yards in the league.

He finished the rookie year leading the Chargers in receiving yards with 1,149. There was a huge clamour for Los Angeles to select a wide receiver in the first round of the 2024 draft, with Malik Nabers available. However, they used their first-round pick on tackle Joe Alt and grabbed their receiver on the second. It proved to be a great move.

For the second straight year, the Chargers used a second-round pick on a wide receiver, this time selecting Tre Harris from Ole Miss. Los Angeles hopes Harris can deliver a similar impact, further boosting the team's passing attack.
