STM Take
A pedigreed rookie back whose pro sample is still too small.
The case for
- Two-time first-team All-American at UNC with consecutive 1,500+ yard seasons; the college tape resume is one of the best in the 2025 RB class.
- Recent game log shows the type of variance reserved for true workhorse backs, with 24.9 and 27.5 PPR weeks early before injury.
The worry
- Only 9 games played as a rookie; the durability question is open before he has even hit a full season of NFL touches.
- Career sample is 314 rushing yards; nothing about the pro profile is settled yet.
What to watch: Whether year two produces a full 17-game starter workload; the talent case is intact, the games-played case is not.
Full take and bio
Hampton's rookie season was injury-shortened to 9 games (314 yards through Week 5 plus a late-season return); STTM still landed him at #12 tier 3 on the basis of efficiency rather than volume. The college pedigree (back-to-back first-team All-American at 5.9 YPC) is the case. The pro sample is too small to either confirm or deny.
Hampton was born in Forest City, North Carolina, attended Cleveland High School in Clayton, and played three years at North Carolina, where he was a two-time first-team All-American and two-time first-team All-ACC. He rushed for 3,565 college yards at 5.7 YPC. The Chargers took him 22nd overall in the 2025 NFL Draft.
