Perfect fit for GRo offense.

Optimism abounds.

I love that 4 wr set….Hampton and Conklin and Gadsden added in is a real mess to handle defensively. We went from Dobbins and Konk to all that in 1 offseason? Really have to give Chef props on paper here….what aweapon laden crew we have.

Just realized we now have TWO CONKS...Mick-Kong-Kay, and Conklin. Wonder twin Conks, ACTIVATE! MAN this O is exciting me. Now hopefully the O line can hold up their end of pass and run blocking...

If only we had 2 Bectons at the OGs.

Good article. It gives some useful insight on Hortiz' scouting organization if you're wondering if hitting on late rds is an accident.
Mainly it left me excited to see Hampton playing football. Sure sounds like he's an elite talent. it'll be great to see. .

Good read. Interesting process to scouting,. Good insights on how Hortiz is setting things up. McPherson saw him a few years ago as a freshman and been tracking ever since.

Yes good point, the scouting process was interesting also.

I could not be more excited about Hampton, my hopeful pick pre draft but assumed he was going to Denver at 20. Now that we got him, the more i see him and learn about him the more pumped I am. This is going to be a fun Charger to watch for the next few years

Me too! Hampton was my number 1 hope. For me, he even rivaled Jeanty and Loveland.
During the combine, there were rumors that Hampton was several team's #1 RB... even over Jeanty. I was hoping 1 of those teams was us.
From the article, it sounds like we were one of them...

"We look at who's going to fit our skillset and what we're looking for, fit our offense, fit our scheme," McDonald said. "[Hampton] was up there at the top."

Great article... thanks!

Does Hampton have the ability to reach a 1000 yrd + season with 10 TD's this year?! if so he'll be our first 1000 yard rusher in a long time! Will Jeanty?

Great article... thanks!

For sure Nutty. I know you were a big Hampton guy also! I had to pinch myself after the draft a few times thst we actually got him. Some draft picks really get you stoked. There are great solid, smart , fucntional picks the team needs like Joe Alt last year...but there are some picks and additions that are just pure fun that you will love watching many Sundays. And for those who say you shouldnt draft a RB in round 1...I say who cares....

We got ourselves a big, fast, powerful , well rounded , balling Beast !

And now back to the trenches next draft suits me just fine
