Omarion Hampton picked the perfect moment for his NFL breakthrough and his girlfriend Lilly Heder couldn't help but beam with pride. When less than two minutes were left in the first half of the Week 3 game against the Denver Broncos, the Los Angeles Chargers’ first-round pick found daylight and barreled into the end zone from three yards out.

The score gave the Bolts an early 10-0 lead at SoFi Stadium. This was Hampton’s first NFL touchdown and the game’s opening trip to the end zone. Heder wasted no time celebrating the milestone. She shared a clip of the TD on Instagram with the caption:

“first of many. So happy and proud of you.”

However, Omarion's electric moment came with a dark cloud. Just minutes earlier, veteran running back Najee Harris went down clutching his leg on a routine play. Replays suggested a dreaded Achilles injury. He was carted off for evaluation.

If Harris is sidelined long-term, Jim Harbaugh’s Chargers will lean heavily on their rookie star. Hampton, a touchdown machine at UNC last year, showed glimpses that he’s ready to carry the load in Los Angeles.

Prasen is an NFL/College Sports analyst at Sportskeeda. A B.Tech/Civil Engineering graduate, he has two years of experience writing content.

For Prasen, providing historical angles relevant to the story is important, as it can give the reader useful information and help them relate it to the present. He thinks this keeps the content unique rather than just a bland reporting of facts. Prasen believes in fact-checking and researching relevant information as per the headline and context. He hates clickbait or misleading the reader.

A fan of the Colorado Buffaloes since Deion Sanders took over as coach, Prasen expects Coach Prime to make the Buffs a national championship contender. Nick Saban is his favorite all-time coach, while Baker Mayfield and Caitlin Clark are his favorite players. Prasen considers Vince Young coming up clutch for the Texas Longhorns in the dying seconds of the 2017 national championship game against the USC Trojans as the most iconic moment of all time.

Per Prasen, College Sports is competitive and garners attention but it is just the beginning, where a student-athlete can show their skills and potential to make it to the big leagues. When he is not researching and writing, Prasen’s hobbies include pursuing higher studies and playing sports.
