In the absence of four-year starter Najee Harris, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ running back search added three new names — officially — to the growing list of candidates on April 9, with the headliner being potential first-round draft talent Omarion Hampton.
Along with Oregon defensive tackle Derrick Harmon, the Steelers hosted Hampton (North Carolina) and Oklahoma State running back Ollie Gordon II on Wednesday, according to Pittsburgh Post-Gazette beat writer Ray Fittipaldo.
A couple of hours later on April 9, The Draft Network’s Justin Melo also reported that UCF ball carrier RJ Harvey told him he has a pre-draft visit scheduled with the Steelers too. Melo revealed this bit of information after interviewing Harvey exclusively.
Where Do Potential Steelers Draft Targets Omarion Hampton, Ollie Gordon & RJ Harvey Rank Within 2025 RB Class?
No matter who you ask, Hampton seems to be the consensus RB2 of this draft class behind Ashton Jeanty. Brugler did not disagree, ranking the 6-foot North Carolina product 29th overall in his top 100.
Harvey, standing at 5-foot-8, made Brugler’s top 10 running back ranking as well, at No. 8. He placed 93rd in the top 100 overall.
Out of the three, Gordon (6-foot-1) was the only one to rank outside of Brugler’s top 100. He’s currently the 14th RB on Brugler’s board.
