Steelers may draft UNC running back Omarion Hampton

sportingnews.com

The Pittsburgh Steelers are in talks with veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who recently met with them for six hours. The discussions were positive, but Rodgers is taking his time to make a decision. As he considers his future, the Steelers are exploring options to secure a new signal-caller. Rodgers is still a top target for the Steelers, who may look to draft a quarterback or sign one through free agency. The New York Giants are also interested in him. At 41, Rodgers knows he might be nearing the end of his career and wants to ensure he has the right team around him. In a recent trade, the Steelers added wide receiver D.K. Metcalf from the Seattle Seahawks, which could help attract Rodgers. He needs to see improvements in the team's offense, as he has not had a strong support system in terms of a running game for most of his career. Reports suggest the Steelers may draft North Carolina running back Omarion Hampton with the 21st pick. Hampton is highly regarded as one of the best running backs in the draft, and his addition could meet a crucial need for Pittsburgh. In his college career, Hampton rushed for over 3,500 yards and scored 36 touchdowns. His skills could provide the balance Pittsburgh needs to support Rodgers and improve their overall offense. Having a solid running game would be key for the Steelers as they aim for success in the upcoming season.
