Hampton showed glimpses of becoming a potential star during his first three years with the Scarlet Knights, but injuries to both shoulders shortened his sophomore and junior seasons.
quote:
Strengths
Team captain, team leader
Possesses NFL size with a frame to add more
Offers big nickel and dime linebacker options
Above-average ball-tracker
Decent trigger to plant and drive from off-man or a pedal
Looks to attack ball side of the target and impact catch or take it away
Physical enough to jar the catch loose at impact
Operates with good feel for pursuit angles from box safety
Searches for ball-stripping opportunities
Consistent career roles in kick- and punt-cover teams
Weaknesses
Missed multiple games due to injuries in 2016 and 2017
Takes very passive pursuit angles from high safety spot
Rarely races downhill after run diagnosis and allows runner to climb up
Drag-down tackler allows additional yards after contact
Lacks instincts and needs to see it to play it
Average burst to mirror breaks and squeeze the route
Lacks route anticipation for man coverage
Allows too many easy catches from off-man in slot
Play speed and range are both below average

The Saints love drafting safeties

Apparently we want Dennis Allen to succeed.

I think one of these guys will be a strong safety, and like some of you have already said, Marcus Williams contract is about to be up,and unless he really steps it up this season dont think Saints are going to Pay him.

payton rolling the dice thinking either smith, kirkwood or meredith will step up and be a TRUE #2. Ginn is just a #3 deep threat. need someone else to go with kamara, cook and MT.
i will believe it when i see it
really needed a WR. two shite picks left in 7th. watch us now draft a LT who won't even make team

This past season, safety Saquan Hampton was the top performer on the Rutgers defense. Rutgers’ 1-11 season did not get the team a wealth of national notoriety, although NFL scouts were paying attention all season as they were regular visitors at Rutgers to check in on Hampton.
“I always had high expectations for myself,” Hampton told Scarlet Nation during Rutgers pro day. “Entering this season, I always knew what my capabilities were and I just think I put it all together.”
In the days leading up to the 2013 NFL Draft, former Rutgers safety Duron Harmon did not have a ton of buzz and could not be found in many mock drafts. So what happened? Harmon wound up being a third-round pick of the New England Patriots and is still a member of that team to this day.
There is a very good chance that Hampton could follow a similar path. He has a similar skillset to Harmon and his 4.48 forty time at the 2019 NFL Scouting Combine helped his cause. There is no reason to believe a team won’t select Hampton as early as the fourth round as he has tremendous upside.
