"We know they're going to run the ball, so I'm loving it," Hampton said during an appearance on The Jim Rome Show. "I'm excited, we got me and Najee [Harris], a dominant duo backfield. I'm excited to learn from him, I'm excited to get out there. We got a good offensive line, a good quarterback. I feel like we're building something special here."

Austin Ekeler and Melvin Gordon III were once considered to be the future of the position in Los Angeles, but ultimately injury concerns got the better of the duo. The bolts took a flyer on ex-Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins last offseason and the risk paid dividends.
