Chargers send shockwaves through fanbase with Omarion Hampton selection

After weeks of speculation with no real favorite, LA Chargers fans finally have their answer. With the No. 22 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, the Chargers officially selected UNC running back Omarion Hampton. The draft board broke in the worst possible way for the Chargers as fans' favorite targets were taken far earlier than expected. Los Angeles was left to choose between less-than-ideal options and Hampton was the best of the bunch. While Hampton may have been the best of a bad board, he still brings juice to the Chargers offense in 2025 and beyond. The pick may not have been what fans were hoping for or expected, but it will pay off in the long run. The Chargers were always going to draft a running back early in the 2025 NFL Draft. While the team did sign Najee Harris this offseason, Harris' deal is just for one season as he is a stopgap option. With Hamtpon alongside Harris, the Chargers now have a running back tandem they can be proud of. Hampton picked up 1,660 rushing yards on 281 carries with 15 touchdo
