The Chargers made changes to their running back group by signing Najee Harris, letting go of Gus Edwards, and not re-signing J.K. Dobbins. Currently, the team's backfield includes Harris, Kimani Vidal, and Hassan Haskins, but they are likely to add a running back through the draft to enhance the group further.
General manager Joe Hortiz mentioned during a pre-draft media session that they are seeking specific skills to complement Harris and build a versatile backfield. They aim to pair Harris, known for his physicality, with a more explosive player to diversify their running game. Potential draft targets for the Chargers include Omarion Hampton from North Carolina, TreVeyon Henderson from Ohio State, Bhayshul Tuten from Virginia Tech, Jaydon Blue from Texas, and DJ Giddens from Kansas State.
