Omarion Hampton

Chargers signed No. 22 overall pick RB Omarion Hampton to a four-year contract.

The deal is worth $17.77 million over four years, with a signing bonus of $9.65 million. Hampton, who was a two-time All-American at North Carolina, rushed for 281-1,660-15 last season while adding another 38-373-2 through the air and closed out his career with back-to-back 1,500-yard rushing seasons. He joins a Chargers backfield which includes former Steelers running back Najee Harris, who signed as a free agent in March. “I look at Najee and Omarion — both starters,” head coach Jim Harbaugh said last month. “He brings that same type of mentality Najee brings.”
