Dom Hampton has everything you want physically in a CB. I remember when he killed Britain Covey on kickoff coverage.
I often forget he's even in the team. I wish that were not the case. I know he has talent and holy shit I want corners that size out there.
He should start next year
I haven't noticed him so far. Is he coming in as much as Gordon?
Gordon seems built for Molden’s role. I hope Hampton takes Taylor's.
He was playing what looked like some sort of inside slot corner role at some point when the reserves were in. I have no clue where the staff wants to use him.
I’ll be a contrarian and say Hampton never starts. Gordon probably takes one role. He’s the first DB off the bench. We will see if it’s outside or nickel.
The other opening has a bunch of candidates. We also have four freshman we haven’t seen (5 counting Kinchen), Kam Fab, Irving, Cam Williams, etc. I know some of those guys are safeties, but Gordon could play outside and a safety, maybe even Turner, might move to nickel. Too much completion and rearranging that will happen for me to have any sort of confidence Hampton starts.

I'm hoping that Jacobe Covington will be good. Cam Williams seems to have disappeared.

Yeah, it really is to early to tell. Dom has obviously put in the work in the wight room but playing DB is all about instincts. He's the heir apparent at CB but if one of the younger guys beats him out, it wouldn't necessarily surprise me. Hampton was very lightly recruited for a guy from a powerhouse HS program.

Free pub!!!!

My prediction is Dom opposite of McDuffie and then Kyler at Nickel.
