The Chicago Bears are preparing for the 2025 NFL draft, holding four picks in the Top 75, including the 10th overall selection. After addressing needs on the offensive and defensive lines during the offseason, the team is exploring various options for their first-round pick.
Speculation surrounds the Bears targeting top running back Ashton Jeanty, but if he's unavailable at No. 10, Chicago may consider trading back to secure another talented running back. North Carolina's Omarion Hampton, considered the second-best RB in the draft, recently visited the Bears as a potential addition to their roster.
Hampton had an impressive season at North Carolina, tallying 1,660 rushing yards, 15 touchdowns, and contributing in the passing game. The Bears, under new head coach Ben Johnson, are likely seeking to bolster their running back corps to complement existing talent like D'Andre Swift and enhance support for quarterback Caleb Williams.
