Nick Hampton

Evaluation

Ryland B.: Hampton is a fast and ferocious pass-rusher. His acceleration off the snap and motor are unmatched. He was certainly a fun prospect to watch on tape. He' s a little technically unrefined, but overall his footwork and hand usage are quick and snappy, much like his overall game. The biggest concern lies in Hampton's size, which isn't terrible, but it's definitely below pro EDGE standards. At 235 pounds, Hampton noticeably lacks some power and punch. He's still an intriguing prospect, not just because of his athleticism, but also because of his impressive production at Appalachian State. Hampton's size may cap his potential, but he could still be a valuable pickup for a team in need of some 3-4 OLB depth.
