Qutrell Payton brings old-school fullback grit to Hampton
In the 2026 season, Qutrell Payton has been a low-volume, high-efficiency piece for Hampton, with 3 carries for 10 yards and 3 catches for 26 yards, showing useful versatility without a turnover[1]. His value is less about gaudy stat lines and more about the fullback stuff that wins coaches over: lead blocking, toughness, and doing the dirty work that frees up others[2]. Hampton’s roster history also describes him as a rotation fullback and a key lead blocker, which fits the profile of a physical, assignment-sound player who can help a run game stay on schedule[2][5].
