The Athletic’s Mike DeFabo reports the Steelers will host North Carolina RB Omarion Hampton for a visit.

09 April 2025

The two-time All-American is widely projected as a first-round pick and could fill the hole left by the departure of Najee Harris, who signed as a free agent with the Los Angeles Chargers. Hampton is among the top-10 FBS running backs over the last eight seasons in terms of his average max speed based on PFF’s tracking data. If selected by Pittsburgh (which currently has the 21st overall pick), Hampton would join a backfield that includes Jaylen Warren and former Eagle Kenneth Gainwell. He would likely work as the team’s lead back over Warren. The Steelers are also hosting Oklahoma State RB Ollie Gordon II.
