He is currently hosting the midday show from 10am-Noon on WSCR 670 The Score in Chicago with co-host Laurence Holmes. Hampton played college football at Arkansas and was drafted in the first round of the 1979 NFL Draft by the Bears. In 1979 he was voted All-Rookie by the Pro Football Writers Association. His fierce style of play earned him the nickname of "Danimal". He was selected to four Pro Bowls and was a key defensive member of the Bears' Super Bowl XX win against the New England Patriots in 1985. Hampton was a versatile defensive lineman, making All-Pro at both defensive end and defensive tackle. In all, Hampton was 1st or 2nd team All-Pro in 1980, 1982, 1984, 1985, 1986, and 1988. Hampton was also a 1st alternate for the Pro Bowl in 1988 and graded out as the top defender on the Bears that season, even though Mike Singletary was the NFL Defensive Player of the Year.
