He can learn from the process, clean some things up, hopefully have a better season then re-apply for the draft the next year. IMO, there's absolutely no reason to punish someone who still has college eligibility just because they took a chance on the professional ranks.
Originally posted by GhostofFredDean74:Actually letting them go back to college makes a lot of sense. As for not being drafted. A short slow CB is not in demand. 5'9" with a 4.69 40. That's a 4.7 40 yd dash. Possession receivers could burn him deep. I have heard of big 4.6 CB's but not small 4.7 CB's. Add to that all the character flags and I wonder why anyone thought he would be drafted.

I don't know if I would want to bring him in. We would have to cut a player to make room. I don't see a future for a short slow CB on our team even without the red flags and those red flags make it a absolute no.

Originally posted by jordanroberts88:Rice Jr. sounds like more of an homage to his father. Unless Hampton is going to become faster then what's the point. He's too slow for a big CB let alone a small one. Then you add all those red flags. When you have his measurables you need to be a very high character guy just to have a shot not someone with so many red flags.

He had decent production in college, whereas Rice Jr did absolutely nothing against weak competition. I'm not saying he should make the 90 man roster, but that he should get a workout somewhere.

Agreed about Rice. 40 times aren't as relevant for nickel CBs since you're less often chasing guys 40 yards down field and more often making plays 5-15 yards from the line of scrimmage. In fact, the Panthers drafted someone in the 5th round very much like Hampton, the 5'10", Bene Benwikere from SJSU, who ran a 4.63 forty at the combine. Carolina even traded up to get Bene and he's only an inch taller, ran only slightly faster but has shorter arms and played lesser competition than Hampton.
So there's definitely a place in this league for smaller, slower DBs.
