Mike Hampton - Cornerback South Florida Bulls Scouting Report

Scouting report for NFL Draft prospect Mike Hampton

MIKE HAMPTON | South Florida | DC | #7 | rSr | 5110 | 172 | Tampa, FL | Hillsborough HS | 02.08.97

Overview: 

In a talented cornerback class, it makes it difficult to think Hampton is anything more than just a guy. He has solid length for the position and didn’t give up too many big plays in college. His best season was as a sophomore, where Hampton looked like he was on his way to being a top pick. Hampton’s overall lack of technique has hurt him, though. He is out of position too often, grabby, and doesn’t get his head turned around quickly enough to locate the ball. Even with his size, the upside isn’t there for a defensive backs coach to work extensively with him. His overall lack of technique will hurt him in camp when he goes up against better players. Hampton also isn’t aggressive in the run game and doesn’t like to tackle. He is worthy of being a tryout player, but it is concerning that he has taken a step back the past two seasons and lacks the upside teams are looking for in a project.
