Running back and projected first-round pick Omarion Hampton visited with the Giants on Thursday, one day after he met with the Steelers in Pittsburgh. New York is unlikely to spend the No. 3 overall pick on Hampton, but they pick again at No. 34. If the running back is still on the board, they’d consider him a steal at that point. A trade-up to re-enter Round 1 is a possibility if the Giants think that highly of him and would be tempted by the fifth-year option that accompanies first-round talent. The team is doing its homework on running backs, possibly for an upgrade from Tyrone Tracy.

He spent time with the Steelers on Wednesday, and Pittsburgh currently holds the 21st-overall selection. They added Kenneth Gainwell (PHI) and Evan Hull (IND) in free agency, but there are questions as to whether Jaylen Warren can carry the full workload on a run-first team.

Hampton is coming off a three-year career at UNC, where he racked up 3,565 yards on the ground and 73 catches for an additional 635 yards through the air. Hampton found his way into the endzone a whopping 40 times over those seasons and was a two-time All-American.
