In his final two seasons with the Tar Heels, Hampton rushed 534 times for 3,164 yards and 30 touchdowns in 25 games. He also added 67 receptions for 595 yards and three scores as a receiver out of the backfield.
NFL.com's Lance Zierlein has described Hampton as a "high-volume battering ram with a three-ingredient recipe of size, strength and aggression."
Hampton, set to turn 22 later this month, is projected as a late first- or early second-round draft pick. The Broncos hold seven draft picks this year, including No. 20 in the first round and No. 51 in the second round.
The 2025 NFL draft will be held in Wisconsin from April 24-26. Hampton could certainly be in play for Denver in the first or second rounds.
