Joining NFL ranks
Hampton has declared for the 2025 NFL Draft, Jordan Reid of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Hampton claimed the lead job in North Carolina's backfield in 2023, seizing it from Elijah Green after serving as the No. 2 back behind Green in 2022. Hampton would go on to register back-to-back 1,500-yard rushing campaigns for the Tar Heels, amassing 1,660 rushing yards and 15 touchdowns as a junior in 2024. While Hampton will avoid excess tread on his tires by leaving the college ranks after just three seasons, he did total 282 and 319 touches over the last pair of campaigns, amassing a combined 67 grabs for 595 yards and three scores in addition to his rushing prowess. He grades out as a solid rusher and receiver, per PFF, but his pass blocking may need a little work at the next level. Even so, he is among the candidates to be the second back off the board behind Ashton Jeanty in this year's draft.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Getting first-round consideration
Daniel Jeremiah of NFL.com projected the Chargers to select Hampton with the 22nd overall pick in his Feb. 18 mock draft.
ANALYSIS
The Chargers relied on J.K. Dobbins to lead their backfield last season, and he offered strong production by averaging 4.6 yards per carry and tallying nine touchdowns across 13 regular-season games. However, Dobbins is set to become a free agent, leaving the team with little depth at running back. Hampton was an aggressive downhill runner while playing at North Carolina and projects as a potential workhorse back as a pro, as well as a good fit for offensive coordinator Greg Roman's scheme.
