When Najee Harris left the Steelers for the Los Angeles Chargers, I’m guessing he didn’t expect another first-round running back. But despite signing him in free agency, that’s exactly the path LA took. With their first-round pick, they selected North Carolina RB Omarion Hampton.
“This is not something that was ever split on Mr. Hampton”, Chargers HC Jim Harbaugh said of the running back likely to supplant Najee Harris before he ever plays a snap. I’ll also note that, like Steelers HC Mike Tomlin, he referred to a player he respects as “Mr.”. “He’s there at 22, that’s somebody we’re fired up to get”.
