Briefly

The Los Angeles Chargers selected running back Omarion Hampton with the 22nd overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft, aiming to fortify their offense in coach Jim Harbaugh's second year. Hampton had an impressive season at North Carolina, rushing for 1,660 yards and scoring 15 touchdowns. Despite signing former Steelers running back Najee Harris in free agency, the Chargers' backfield depth is a concern, particularly since free agent J.K. Dobbins has not been signed.
