2024: A solid if distant No. 2 behind Ashton Jeanty in this year’s running back draft class, 22-year-old Hampton (6’0/221) enters the league as a power back who tacked on 67 receptions over the past two seasons. A 1,500-yard rusher on 250-plus carries each of the past two years, Hampton is a genuine workhorse. He’s also a big-play threat, ripping off 45 runs of 10-plus yards last season. That includes 26 of 15-plus yards.
What’s changed: Hampton confirmed his explosiveness at the Combine, posting a 4.46 40, 38-inch vertical, and 10’ 10’’ broad jump. The Chargers’ coaching staff has barely been able to contain its excitement, with OC Greg Roman labeling the rookie “the total package.” Hampton’s potential selection didn’t stop the Bolts from giving Najee Harris $5.25 million guaranteed a month earlier in free agency. Head coach Jim Harbaugh has talked up the duo as a “1-2 punch.”
Outlook: You only take a running back in the first round in 2025 if you are planning on a big early role, while Harris’ mysterious summer eye injury has created an opening for Hampton to further impress his giddy coaching staff. Hampton has a 10-12 touch weekly floor, and his ceiling is making a Jahmyr Gibbs-type impact.
