Omarion Hampton, RB, Discussion

The way you talk about them I can’t tell if you believe Omarion or Justin is Homelander.

Homelander is dead so I'll go with ... Najee Harris?

MM w/Chris Simms on Hampton. OH was one of his draft targets. He sees comparison between Hampton and Achane.

No way. Melvin Gordon is the better comparison. Hampton is a contact runner. He's not trying (able?) to elude people like Archane could. And Terrell Davis had much better vision than Hampton has ever shown. Hampton is a Melvin Gordon. Like it or not.

I don't like it, so I will go with the take from the guy who has been coaching RBs in the NFL for 20 years 😉

I don’t buy it either but not gonna argue it. Just wait and see, one way or another.

I think he's closer to Josh Jacobs, pre beating his wife or GF

Yep, Josh Jacobs is a better comp.

Good call but more explosive than Jacobs I believe.

Just wait , We have only had a small taste of full Omarion so far!

Let's hope he's better at running through would be tacklers than Melvin was.
If I recall, Mel went down with the first guy that touched him more times than not. Plus, Mel had HORRIBLE vision! Let's hope Omarion is at least average in seeing the field.

Omarion Hampton is a battering ram style RB who will give LBs and CBs a good old whooping if and when he makes it past the LOS and gets going. If you are looking for jukes and wiggles, OH8 does not have that style of some RBs so better hope that Keaton Mitchell fills that void if that's your fancy. Hopefully with more experience, Omarion will develop a bit more patience behind his line to let the running lanes develop, albeit it very momentarily, right in front of him so that he can fill his primary function of battering, hurting and causing fatigue to Ds.

I don't watch much college ball and don't think last year is a good representation of what we'll see from Hampton this year with this OL and OC.
I think OH will do well based on the respect he's getting from football people that I respect.
Go Bolts!
