Hampton was one of the most dominating defensive players of his generation. A first-round pick by the Chicago Bears in 1979 after an All-America career at Arizona, Hampton went onto play 12 seasons for the Bears, earning first or second-team All-Pro honors six times as either a lineman or end.

Hampton started the first 48 games of his career and established himself as a dominant pass rusher, recording 25 sacks during his first three seasons. Overall, he played in 157 regular season games, starting 152 of them. He is one of only two Bears to play in three decades and finished his career ranked third on the Bears all-time career sacks list with 82. He was named to the NFL Team of the 1980s by the Pro Football Hall of Fame Board of Selectors and was inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame in 2002.

Hampton was a member of the much-heralded and colorful 1985 team, which is considered one of the greatest teams in NFL history. The Bears finished the season with a 15-1 record and won Super Bowl XX. Hampton’s teammates included Mike Singletary, Richard Dent, Jim McMahon and coach Mike Ditka.

After retiring, Hampton got involved in broadcasting. Hampton was an analyst for NFL games on NBC in the early 1990s and called XFL games for the network in 2001. He also hosted Bears pre-and post-game shows on WGN Radio. He currently serves as a co-host for the syndicated Pro Football Weekly television show, which is approaching its 20th season. He also hosts a radio show on WSCR 670 The Score.

Additionally, Hampton stays busy making personal appearances and is a popular sports motivational speaker for non-profits, corporations and assorted organizations. He also serves as a spokesperson for such companies as the Illinois Back Institute. He lives in the Chicago area.
