A converted wide receiver at Notre Dame, Cam Hart has grown into a physical, ball-hawking cornerback for the Chargers.
Cam Hart switched from receiver to cornerback before his freshman season at Notre Dame and turned that unconventional path into a five-round NFL draft selection. He has steadily increased his role in the Chargers' secondary, capped by his first career interception in a dramatic 2025 win over Philadelphia.
Path to the league
A three-star receiver recruit, Hart moved to cornerback at Notre Dame and developed into a team captain by 2023, appearing in 47 career games with 32 starts and totaling 91 tackles, two interceptions and 17 pass deflections. The Chargers drafted him in the fifth round (140th overall) of the 2024 NFL Draft.
Career highlights
In 2023 at Notre Dame, Hart did not allow a touchdown reception across 308 coverage snaps, according to Pro Football Focus. As a rookie in 2024, he appeared in 14 games with six starts, recording 37 tackles and seven pass deflections before undergoing shoulder surgery to repair a torn labrum suffered in the playoffs.
2025 season recap
Hart played in 16 games with six starts in 2025, posting a career-high 48 combined tackles and 11 pass deflections. On December 8, 2025, he recorded his first career interception, picking off a tipped Jalen Hurts pass in the fourth quarter of an overtime win over the Philadelphia Eagles.
