The Los Angeles Chargers selected North Carolina RB Omarion Hampton with the No. 22 overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft. Omarion Hampton is a hard-charging downhill running back with experience carrying a rushing offense.

Ashton Jeanty overshadowed Hampton in this draft. Jeanty was everyone's RB1 and there was a significant gap to the second back on the board. But that said more about Jeanty's talent than any flaw in Hampton's profile. Hampton has the ability to be a difference making back from his first NFL game on.
