Ladd McConkey’s New Teammate Compared To ‘Bruce Banner’
Ladd McConkey’s team made several impactful acquisitions in the 2025 NFL draft. Omarion Hampton was perhaps one of the most stellar picks that the Chargers made this year. After a picture of him meeting head coach, Jim Harbaugh, went viral, LA fans could not help but comment on his remarkable size.
Some social media users even nicknamed Hampton as ‘Bruce Banner’ a.k.a the Hulk in the Marvel Universe. Hampton stands six-feet tall and weighs 221 lbs. and looks stacked on the field. The new running back for the Chargers can be expected to do some major damage for the team and make Harbaugh happy.
Harbaugh remarked earlier that he hopes to amplify the team’s offense and running game, in which Omarion Hampton will fit very well. Hampton was the 22nd pick in the very first round of the draft and lastly player for the North Carolina Tar Heels.
