Per Fox Sports' Jordan Schultz, Omarion Hampton, the No. 22 pick out of North Carolina, inked a four-year, $17.77 million contract with the Chargers. The deal includes a $9.56 million signing bonus.

The Los Angeles Chargers gained a new offensive weapon before the 2025 NFL season, selecting North Carolina standout running back Omarion Hampton with their No. 22 overall pick in the first round. Hampton led the ACC in rushing yards and rushing attempts in each of his last two seasons with the Tar Heels.

A recent projection of NFL rookie leaders has the Chargers' RB Omarion Hampton outpacing the Las Vegas Raiders Ashton Jeanty, a measure that may forecast big things in Los Angeles.
