David Hampton (born May 7, 1947) is a former professional American football running back in the National Football League for the Green Bay Packers, Atlanta Falcons, and Philadelphia Eagles.

College career

Hampton was part of a star-studded backfield which helped Wyoming post a {{nowrap|10–0}} regular season record in 1967 and a number six national ranking. They played LSU in the Sugar Bowl and led after the first half, but lost {{nowrap|20–13.}} Other future pros in Wyoming's backfield that season included senior Jim Kiick, who was part of two Super Bowl championship teams with the Miami Dolphins, and Vic Washington, who helped the San Francisco 49ers win three consecutive NFC West division titles {{nowrap|(1970-72).}}

Professional career

Hampton was selected by the Green Bay Packers in the ninth round of the 1969 NFL/AFL Draft in late {{nowrap|January,[1][2]}} in what turned out to be general manager Vince Lombardi's last official function with the club before becoming coach and general manager of the Washington Redskins the {{nowrap|next week.[3]}} Hampton was expected to fill the shoes of retired legends Jim Taylor and Paul Hornung, but in three years with Green Bay, he, along with the rest of the Packers' aging offense, struggled.

His best success came with the Atlanta Falcons, where he was traded prior to the 1972 season. In his first year with the team, Hampton surpassed the 1,000-yard rushing yard mark during the Falcons' final game of the season against the Kansas City Chiefs. However, he was tackled for a six-yard loss on the following play and ended the season with 995 yards. In 1973, he had another chance to get a 1,000-yard rushing season, but he ended up three yards shy. After missing most of the 1974 season due to injury, he rushed for 1,002 yards in 1975 and received the NFL Comeback Player of the Year Award.
