The Los Angeles Chargers continued their blueprint for building a strong rushing attack on the 2025 NFL draft last month as they selected former North Carolina Tar Heels running back Omarion Hampton with the 22nd pick in the first round.
The selection of Hampton gave the Chargers a second strong, well built running back to pair with Najee Harris who came over from the Pittsburgh Steelers on a one-year, $9.25 million deal this offseason.
Hampton is expected to team with Harris to form one of the most powerful running back duos in the AFC next season, a development that could change fortunes in the City of Angels going forward.
