Omarion Hampton scored his first NFL touchdown on Sunday afternoon for the Los Angeles Chargers.

With under two minutes left in the first half, Hampton found the open hole, scoring from three yards out to extend the Chargers' lead. In a game with minimal offense, Hampton's score served as the first touchdown for either team.

Fans of the UNC football program saw Hampton score touchdowns regularly during his tenure in Chapel Hill. After not scoring in the team's first two games, a pair in which the Chargers were heavily focused on the passing game, Hampton finally earned his opportunity to score his first NFL touchdown, a moment he'll always remember.

If his time at North Carolina taught us anything, it's that we all should expect many more touchdowns to come for Omarion Hampton as he continues his career in the National Football League.
