Omarion Hampton just finished up his junior season at North Carolina, and he was quietly one of the best RBs in college football. He turned heads during the NFL Combine with his 4.46 40 time, and one personnel director expects him to be a first round lock.

In Kiper's latest NFL mock draft, Hampton is projected to the Dallas Cowboys at No. 12 overall. Meanwhile, Luke Easterling has the Tar Heels halfback going at No. 20 to the Denver Broncos in his mock published on Sunday.

Omarion Hampton is believed to be the best running back prospect in this draft by some NFL teams, according to a new report.

The early highlights of Omarion Hampton's NFL Combine include meetings with former UNC football walk-on Ben Johnson and the Chicago Bears.

Omarion Hampton is yet another sign that North Carolina is once again becoming a hotbed for college football. The resurgence, which began with the drafting of Drake Maye and peaked with the hiring of Bill Belichick as the Tar Heels' head coach, continues with the high praise the running back has been receiving from scouts and analysts.

The Denver Broncos could get a lot better during the 2025 NFL offseason. Denver enters the offseason with $41.5 million in cap space to spend and several selections in the 2025 NFL Draft, including the 20th-overall pick.
