Omarion Hampton’s NFL Draft Scouting Report
Ashton Jeanty is the most heavily marketed Round 1 RB in the 2025 NFL Draft, but there’s another player who should hear his name called within the first 32 picks in a just world: North Carolina’s Omarion Hampton.
Having amassed 3,164 yards and 30 touchdowns over the past two seasons, Hampton has the tools to be an impact starter as a volume back in the NFL. At 6’0″, 221 pounds, his size and physicality stand out as separating traits, but he brings even more to the table.
Hampton’s speed and burst, when he’s able to find a hole, is borderline special for his size, and he has the vision and spatial awareness to tempo his runs and create second-level windows with his footwork. Additionally, while he’s not as productive as others in the receiving phase, he undoubtedly has enough in his tool box to take short passes for RAC.

Omarion Hampton’s Latest NFL Draft Projection
PFSN’s Ian Cummings projects Hampton to be drafted No. 29 overall by the Washington Commanders in his most recent seven-round 2025 NFL Mock Draft:
Cummings said, “The Washington Commanders approached free agency in a way that leaves them with absolute flexibility on draft day. They could go with a Round 1 EDGE, or a CB, but they also have the freedom to take a highly graded player at RB if the board falls their way.
“Omarion Hampton is very well-regarded in the 2025 NFL Draft. He has similar size and physicality to Brian Robinson Jr., but is superior to Robinson with his speed, second-level creative IQ, and pass-game ability. For Washington, this is pressing the ‘upgrade’ button.”
