So much for Chargers rookie Omarion Hampton getting No. 28 from Hassan Haskins

One of the funnier stories that makes the rounds after the NFL draft is which veterans imght make jersey number changes so that high-profile rookies can have their preferred numbers.

For the Los Angeles Chargers, the spotlight was on first-round pick Omarion Hampton and veteran running back Hassan Haskins.

It turns out Hampton isn't getting Haskins' number based on the Chargers' official reveal.

There, the Chargers list Hampton as No. 8 despite his wearing the No. 28 while shredding the college world at North Carolina over the last few seasons.

Haskins joined the Chargers in 2024 via a late-August waiver claim. That move reunited the former Michigan product with Jim Harbaugh, who, in a funny twist, made sure Haskins scored a touchdown during a win over his former Tennessee Titans last November.

Given the shocking J.K. Dobbins news and the addition of Najee Harris in free agency, the running back room for the Chargers is more crowded than expected, too. Over the summer, a little jersey number shuffling might not be out of the question.

Either way, fans now have an official reveal, as the team understands fans wanting to go out and get their first-round pick’s jersey.
