The Chicago Bears are finalizing their plans ahead of the 2025 NFL draft next week, where they're positioned to land some impact rookies.
The Bears hold four picks in the Top 75, including the 10th overall selection. Following a productive offseason where Chicago shored up needs on the offensive and defensive lines, they have flexibility when it comes to how they approach the 10th overall pick.
There's been plenty of discussion and speculation about the Bears targeting top running back Ashton Jeanty, but he might not fall to No. 10. If that's the case, perhaps Chicago can find a trade partner and move back in the draft where another playmaking running back could be waiting in the wings.
The Bears hosted North Carolina running back Omarion Hampton for a pre-draft visit Monday at Halas Hall, as Hampton shared on Instagram.
Hampton is widely considered the second best running back in this draft class behind only Jeanty, and then there's a massive drop-off. Last season with the Tarheels, Hampton had a career year with 281 carries for 1,660 yards and 15 touchdowns while adding 38 receptions for 373 yards and two scores.
With Ben Johnson's arrival as head coach, the assumption is he's looking to recreate the 1-2 punch at running back he had with the Detroit Lions. With D'Andre Swift already in place, Hampton would be a nice complement and provide another weapon for quarterback Caleb Williams.
