The Los Angeles Chargers on Wednesday claimed running back Hassan Haskins off waivers.

Here are five things to know about Haskins:

1. Claimed off waivers

The Bolts had some movement Wednesday in the post-cut down waivers.

With teams submitting their initial 53-man rosters Tuesday afternoon, players with fewer than four years of service in the league were subject to waivers.

The Chargers held the fifth spot in the waiver claim order to add Haskins, who was waived by the Titans on Tuesday. In a corresponding move, the team waived JT Woods.

2. Another Wolverine in LA

The list of former Michigan players on the Bolts has grown with the addition of Haskins.

The running back is reunited with Chargers Head Coach Jim Harbaugh in Los Angeles after spending his collegiate career alongside him with the Wolverines.

Haskins played under Harbaugh from 2018 to 2021 and tallied 2,324 rushing yards and 30 touchdowns.

3. Second-team All-American

Haskins' senior year at Michigan with Harbaugh was his best as he was a major piece of their offense.

He started 14 games and led the team with 270 carries for 1,327 yards and then program season-record 20 touchdowns.

His big year in 2021 earned him a Second-Team All-American selection by the American Football Coaches Association and a consensus First-Team All-Big Ten selection.

4. Former 4th-round pick

Haskins joined the Titans after being selected in the fourth round (No. 131 overall) in the 2022 NFL Draft.

He was the 11th running back selected in that year's edition and played in 15 games (one start) during his rookie season. The running back has a total of 150 yards from scrimmage and has made 11 receptions in his NFL career thus far.

Haskins' main contribution in the NFL so far has been on special teams, where he played 234 snaps (third highest on the team). He also served as their kickoff returner and had 19 returns as a rookie.

5. Working his way up

Before Haskins would become a contributor on the Wolverines, he was a lightly recruited prospect from the state of Missouri.

He was a three-star prospect that was ranked as the nation's 95th-best running back in the country by some outlets out of Eureka Senior High School.
