NFL Draft Talk with West Texas A&M RB, Tommy Hampton

Diamond-in-the rough running back (and kick returner) by the name of Thomas Hampton. Hampton ran for 1708 yards on 229 rushes at Los Medanos College in 2009 which led the state of California in rushing. He was the MVP of the JUCO All-Star game that year running for 177 yards on 11 carries (only playing in one half) and was the Offensive MVP of the Region II All-California Junior College Squad. Scouts took notice of Hampton when he left junior college and transferred to West Texas A&M. Unfortunately, Hampton got lost in the shuffle at the new school since the new program featured a pass-heavy offense which left few carries for Hampton. He basically fell off the radar screens of many NFL scouts. Hampton impressed the scouts at the West Texas A&M Pro Day on March 8 and showcased his talents once again at the Regional Combine in Atlanta on March 11.  He has been running a 4.5 in the 40 and posting excellent scores in the other drills. In the meantime, you can check out his highlights at:  http://bit.ly/w1QTsi  and his training tapes at:  http://bit.ly/AonP6W.
