Nick Hampton Scouting Report

"Lean, first step quick edge with a big motor. Punches up with active, violent hands but just doesn't have the size or strength to hold his own at the poa."

 

Strengths:

Lean, first step quick edge linebacker with violent hands. Strong motor aids solid speed, acceleration and can run and chase all over the field.


Flashes a bull rush belying his size. Adept in space and can adequately anticipate and cover. Active at the poa and regularly punched up over his weight.

 

Weaknesses:

Weight class deficient for an edge and gets bodied by bigger, stronger blockers. Has some tightness and doesn't run the arc like you want a guy his size to.

 

Overall:

Hampton's a high motor, undersized edge defender that's forever punching above his weight. He flashes some physicality in his hands and has a bull rush that adds to his solid burst and field speed.


He's comfortable in space and could find a home as an off ball linebacker. As an edge, he can get buried at the point and isn't special at getting off blocks or being slippery off the snap.
