He’s also enjoyed getting to know McDaniel the person and what he’s brought to the unit.<\/p>\n

“He always brings the energy to practice, always brings the energy to meetings,” Hampton said. “He’s fun to be around but he’s definitely detailed in all his work.”<\/p>\n

As Hampton continues to navigate his first offensive scheme change as a pro, he’s also been fortunate to have someone in the room with an ample amount of experience under the offensive playcaller.<\/p>\n

Fullback Alec Ingold<\/a>, a free agent addition, has spent a lot of time with the position and served as a big player liaison in the meeting rooms and on the field after spending a number of years with McDaniel in Miami.<\/p>\n

“He’s always in the running back room helping us out with stuff we need help with,” Hampton said about Ingold. “In the huddle he’s helping me out on plays I need to know.”<\/p>\n

“He’s definitely a dog,” Hampton added. “I’m super excited to have him on the team. He’s very physical, he can run, catch out the backfield. He can do it all as well.”<\/p>\n

Chargers Head Coach Jim Harbaugh<\/a> said recently that Hampton continues to be himself on a day-to-day basis.<\/p>\n

But he can’t help but be excited about what could be up next for him in 2026.<\/p>\n

“Man of few words,” Harbaugh said about Hampton on Tuesday. “He’s got places to be, people to see, things to do. I respect it. But when I do have a conversation with him, I see a smile and when I watch the tape, I smile.<\/p>\n

Harbaugh added: “I think it fits him great\u2026 has a chance to [be] a big year for Omarion.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"He’s also enjoyed getting to know McDaniel the person and what he’s brought to the unit. “He always…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":922000,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2064],"tags":[98782,37,241,7,34,38,1014,262,2444,2443,6,288],"class_list":["post-921999","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-los-angeles-chargers","tag-2026-offseason-editorial","tag-app-homepage","tag-chargers","tag-football","tag-homepage-cp","tag-homepage-headlines","tag-los-angeles","tag-los-angeles-chargers","tag-losangeles","tag-losangeleschargers","tag-nfl","tag-omarion-hampton"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116769789273982682","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/921999","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=921999"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/921999\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/922000"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=921999"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=921999"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=921999"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
