Omarion Hampton, the Los Angeles Chargers rookie running back, is entering the NFL with confidence and high expectations, particularly regarding his Madden NFL 26 rating. When asked to predict his score, Hampton confidently declared he would give himself an 87, showcasing a belief in his abilities and potential impact as a first-year player.
Hampton’s self-assured projection aligns with his standout college career and impressive performances during the NFL Combine. As the No. 22 overall pick, he enters training camp with momentum and has been receiving significant first-team reps. With veteran running back Najee Harris sidelined due to an eye injury, Hampton has a chance to solidify his role early in the Chargers’ offense.

While Madden NFL 26 rookies often debut with ratings in the mid-to-high 70s, Hampton’s optimism reflects his readiness to challenge the norm. The projected top rookie ratings, including Travis Hunter’s 79 and Abdul Carter’s 79, set a high bar, but Hampton’s 87 claim highlights his determination to stand out among a stacked draft class. His confidence mirrors his approach on the field, where he continues to focus on improving areas like pass protection.
Hampton’s Madden projection also adds intrigue to the Chargers’ preseason narrative. With the Hall of Fame Game approaching, his on-field debut could either validate his confidence or challenge him to prove his worth. His training camp performance has already caught the attention of coaches and fans eager to see his transition to the NFL.
