In fact, he gave up on the running test. Hampton has had a problem with weight in the past, and this season, he didn't participate in some of the other mini-camps that might have gotten him into shape. Hampton didn't understand the big deal that Coach Tomlin made of it by putting Hampton on the PUP, or physically unable to perform, list. Hampton claims that it's just training camp and that he will be in shape for the rest of the season. I think that is just so much hooey. It's extremely unprofessional for Hampton to show up out of shape. What message does that send to the team management and players? Obviously that Hampton doesn't really care for his job. Maybe in the past, Hampton could lose the weight and get into shape quickly, but he's older now--over 30, and things don't come as easily as you age. |
