Harbaugh and Hampton is a perfect combo. Dude has the grind he wants but can also pop monster runs. Will be a stud rookie year
— Will Brinson (@WillBrinson) April 25, 2025
Omarion Hampton is fun! Straight line runner with excellent contact balance & great hands out of the backfield. Has the power, balance, vision & blocking ability to come in & be an RB1 right away. At #22 Hampton was as close to a sure thing as there was being a starting RB. Don't…
