2025 Projections
Entering 2025 NFL Draft
Sampson (lower body) will enter the 2025 NFL Draft, Patrick Brown of 247Sports.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Sampson closed out an impressive three-year career in Rocky Top with Tennessee in 2024, amassing 258 carries for 1,493 yards and 22 touchdowns, all SEC-best marks. He totaled only two carries in the CFP First Round contest against Ohio State last Saturday, so it will be worth monitoring to ensure nothing more comes of it. Sampson joins a loaded running back class in the 2025 NFL Draft, but he's certainly in the conversation to be selected in the first few rounds, depending on how well he shows at the NFL Combine.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Day 3 pick in Reuter's mock
Friday's five-round mock draft from Chad Reuter of NFL.com has Sampson going to the 49ers in the fourth round.
ANALYSIS
Sampson was ranked as the 80th-best prospect in the 2025 NFL Draft class by Dane Brugler of The Athletic earlier in the offseason, but Reuter has the running back out of Tennessee going 33 picks later than that. If he lands in San Francisco, Sampson would likely be limited to a backup role unless injury-prone starter Christian McCaffrey goes down again or experiences a setback in his recovery from a knee injury that ended McCaffrey's 2024 season. Sampson rushed for 1,491 yards and 22 touchdowns in 2024 for the Volunteers.
