Bolts From The Blue
The Chargers have finally put pen to paper as they’ve officially signed first-round RB Omarion Hampton.
The Chargers began the process of signing their 2025 draft class on May 9 when they signed the latter seven of their nine draft picks, beginning with third-rounder Jamaree Caldwell and ending with seventh-round pick Trikweze Bridges.
On Monday afternoon, 10 days later, the Chargers officially announced the signing of former North Carolina running back and 2025 first-round pick Omarion Hampton.
According to NFL insider Aaron Wilson, Hampton’s contract is a four-year, full-guaranteed $17.77 million deal that includes a signing bonus of $9.56 million. With this deal done, the only Chargers 2025 draft pick left unsigned is wide receiver Tre Harris whom the team selected out of Ole Miss in the second round.
Hampton was a two-time First-Team All-American and First-Team All-ACC honoree after both the 2023 and 2024 seasons. He finished his collegiate career with 3,565 rushing yards and 36 touchdowns in three seasons with the Tar Heels.
