Omarion Hampton an Offseason Standout

What They're Saying

Here's OC Greg Roman on his early impressions of the rookie (via ESPN):

"He's the total package...You don't see a lot of guys find a hole like he's doing right now."

Hampton's Round 1 status says he's in for a busy 2025. Best ball drafters agree, as Hampton's currently going in late Round 4 according to Underdog ADP. On average, only 14 RBs are going ahead of the rookie. 

That's a bit rich for us. The presence of Najee Harris is the main factor in Hampton slotting outside the top-20 in our PPR RB rankings. Hampton does jump to RB17 in our ceiling projections.

A balanced offense at least projects favorably for both RBs. Roman's offenses haven't finished lower than 11th in rush attempts in any of his 11 seasons as an OC.

We'll keep a close eye on his activity in the receiving game, too. Last year, Roman's Chargers ranked 31st in RB target share (12%). Hampton has the skill set to thrive there, but we'll see if he can gain trust as a pass protector.

The good news? His history suggests that won't be an issue. Per Pro Football Focus, Hampton allowed only 1 career sack and 2 career hits on 192 pass blocking opportunities.
