College career

Professional career
= Pre-draft
=Lamp received an invitation to the Senior Bowl and had his stock quickly rise after a solid week of practice. He injured his ankle and was unable to play in the game. Although he played offensive tackle throughout his collegiate career, many teams speculated a switch to guard in the NFL due to his lack of arm length. He also attended the NFL Combine and completed all of the combine drills.
At Western Kentucky's Pro Day, Lamp opted to only run positional drills and stood on his combine performance. NFL draft experts and analysts projected Lamp to be selected in the first round. He was ranked the top guard in the draft by NFLDraftScout.com and Pro Football Focus, the top offensive lineman by ESPN, the top interior offensive lineman by NFL media analysts Mike Mayock and Bucky Brooks, and the third best offensive tackle by Sports Illustrated.
