Posted Jul 26, 2024
"I just want to show that I’m an all-around back, like Christian McCaffrey," UNC running back Omarion Hampton said, referring to the San Francisco 49ers All-Pro running back. "I want to catch the ball more, have more receiving yards and get better at pass blocking, because I know that is what they want in the NFL. Doing that, it will expand my game.” (Associated Press)
