Ladd McConkey has only been with the Chargers since April, but he's wasted no time making an impact on the offense.

The second-round rookie receiver has 35 catches for 440 yards so far and became the first Chargers rookie to record a 100-yard receiving game since 2013 after his 111-yard, two touchdown game in Week 8.

Chargers.com recently caught up with McConkey ahead of Week 10 about his rookie year so far and how he continues to adjust to NFL life.

Here's our 1-on-1 conversation with McConkey:

Thank you for your time, Ladd. It's been a big couple of weeks for you, especially after your 100-yard performance against the Saints. Have you had a chance to think about your historic game in Week 8?

"People came up and told me [the history]. But I'm trying to do it again. It's definitely cool, don't get that wrong. I'm excited and honored to be able to do that but can't get caught up in [Week 8]. Got to move on to this one and when this one is over, I'll move on to the next one. Just kind of approach it like that throughout the year."

Overall, how has your transition to the Chargers been, not just adjusting to the NFL but moving to Los Angeles after spending your whole life in Georgia?

"It's been a little different. When I got drafted, I heard L.A. and thought, 'Oh, I'm about to be in the heart of L.A., big city.' But around [El Segundo], this beach town, I feel like everyone I've met has been super nice and very welcoming. And I got great teammates and stuff so it's made it a lot easier."

You missed some time in camp obviously but now you seem like you're full go. Was it difficult as a rookie to kind of just jump in and get up to speed?

"You just got to be locked in mentally. That's the biggest thing. You don't want to miss some time and then miss time in the mental side of it as well, then you're trying to play catch up the whole time. Really just trying to stay locked in, learn the plays, stay up to date with that. That way when I get out there, I can just play fast."

How important have your fellow receivers been in that aspect?

"They've been huge. I feel like we're a close group. We can always ask each other questions. Whether it's, 'How would you run this route, what do I got on this?' All the little things. It's been huge and I feel like we've come together throughout these weeks of the season."

Is there anything that's surprised you about the NFL so far? Maybe something you only picked up during game action?

"I knew it, but seeing it first hand, how small the margin of error is, how the games are one score games all the time. Saying, 'Dang, if we had just made that play, we would've won this game.' Just how small the margin of error is."

We saw the wide receivers huddle up after the game against the Cardinals. Have do you feel the group has responded, even though you've missed some guys due to injuries?

"We were just really leaning on one another in that time. It wasn't getting mad at each other. It was, 'Hey, let's come together, we know what we can do, just put it on tape.'"

How much has gone into building that rapport with Justin Herbert and how do you continue working on it even after having success?

"Building trust. I think that's the main thing. I want him to trust me, how I run my routes, I'm going to be where I need to be at the right time. All about trust and that comes with when we watch film as an offense, when we go out to practice. Just being on the same page."

Last one, but do you think at all of any personal goals you want to accomplish by the end of your rookie year?

"I'm not really one to put numbers. I don't really make goals like that. But when I first came in, I was like, 'I want to contribute, I want to be someone this team can lean on.' When my name is called, go make the plays. If at the end of the year, I can say I did that, I'll be happy. Obviously win as many games possible and ride this out as long as we can. Still got a long way to go, but I think we're getting there."
