Hampton, 26, was a fifth-round pick by the Rams in the 2023 NFL Draft out of Appalachian State. He signed a four-year, $4,139,108 rookie contract but was waived in December of 2025. 

Los Angeles re-signed Hampton to the practice squad a few days later. After the season, he signed with the Panthers but was cut with an injury designation in August.
