Haskins played running back under Harbaugh at Michigan from 2018-2021. He had a breakout senior season when he rushed for 1,327 yards and 20 touchdowns.
Haskins was a 4th-round pick by the Titans in 2022 but only had 25 carries for 93 yards in 15 games that season. The 24-year-old missed all of last season after being placed on the Commissioner Exempt List due to a June 2023 arrest over a domestic dispute.
Though he was cut by Tennessee, a Titans reporter had said that Haskins looked good in training camp.
Hassan Haskins told me he's lost some weight and is right around 229lbs right now. Haksins has quietly had a good camp. He's a little more explosive now. It showed on a pretty nice jump cut that he layered with another move last week. pic.twitter.com/GRks9DTMms

Gus Edwards and JK Dobbins are expected to be the lead backs for the Chargers. The team also has Kimani Vidal and Jaret Patterson in the mix.
