Mel Kiper Jr. sees big potential in NFL for Omarion Hampton

Posted Apr 8, 2025
Mel Kiper Jr. and Field Yates were in agreement that North Carolina’s Omarion Hampton was RB2 for the 2025 NFL Draft. However, they differentiated between how far apart he is from RB1 in this class. On ‘First Draft’ earlier this week, Yates rated Hampton at No. 26 among the overall prospects in his Top 50. Kiper is much higher on Hampton. (On3.com)
