Scouting Report: Strengths
- His initial burst is excellent, and he’s capable of running out of a traditional setup or taking the ball lined up next to a quarterback in shotgun.
- He’s extremely dangerous in the open field, showing the vision and creativity to run through entire defenses.
- Hampton gets low and runs with excellent balance in traffic, and that low center of gravity allows him to bounce off tacklers and keep his legs churning.
- He blends good size and speed, as well as the competitive demeanor of a playmaker.
- He’s aggressive and willing, with more than enough size, when asked to chip block or pick up blitzers. He has the potential to be one of the league’s best in that area.
- He aggressively finishes runs and consistently falls forward in a crowd. His low pad level and a bit of wiggle keep him from absorbing big hits.
- Hampton runs with violence; he’s capable of thrashing through tacklers, and Hampton has the natural balance to withstand contact.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Hampton sometimes get too upright and fails to run behind his pads.
- He doesn’t always show great hands, and Hampton takes too long to gather himself after making catches in the screen game.
- He isn’t particularly elusive. Hampton runs a bit upright when picking through traffic, presenting a big target for tacklers.
