FAYETTEVILLE — Daniel Oliver Hampton started his football journey from way back in the pack. He ended it in the Pro Football Hall of Fame as a key member of the Chicago Bears on what is widely considered the best NFL team of all time.
He’s a living legend in Chicago, and a modern-day rock star to boot.
Hampton, a four-time Pro Bowl selection and the centerpiece of the Bears’ famed “46” defense in the early 1980s, holds the No. 2 spot in the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette’s list of the top pro Hogs of all time.
