Kimani Vidal

Keaton Mitchell looks to be RB2 in this offense based on his fit within OC Mike McDaniel's scheme, and if he can stay healthy, he'll have an enlarged snap share available alongside Hampton— who the Chargers may try to grant some rest to over the course of the season based on the depth of this room.

There was some cryptic stuff from McDaniel about Mitchell last week that had some wondering what exactly was going on with the Chargers backfield. Hampton is the clear RB1, and it appears Mitchell has the RB2 job ahead of Vidal. The story said Vidal is on the rise, however, and is a pass catching weapon, but didn't show a lot this offseason and has some work to do. Mitchell can be a pass catching weapon too, but as the story said, if Hampton would get hurt, Mitchell isn't really a bell-cow back who would take right over. It looks like for now Mitchell may have the early edge as the team's RB2, however.
