After signing Najee Harris as a free agent, the Chargers brought in another running back with their first-round pick in North Carolina's Omarion Hampton.

The Los Angeles Chargers had their sights set on Hampton, but were unsure he'd be there at their pick. They feel as if they struck gold by landing Hampton on Thursday night.

The 5-foot-11, 221-pound Hampton rushed for 1,660 yards and 15 touchdowns as a senior in 2024 and averaged 5.9 yards per carry in each of his two seasons as the Tar Heels’ lead back.
