Forrest Lamp 2017 NFL Draft Profile<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Among offensive line prospects, perhaps no one upped their stock as a result of the myriad pre-draft evaluation processes than Forrest Lamp<\/a><\/strong>. The Western Kentucky product impressed mightily both at the Senior Bowl and the Combine. As a result, he’s vaulted up draft boards and is now firmly on the radar of many an NFL team in need of an upgrade at guard.<\/p>\n

Lamp hails from Venice, FL and hoped to stay in-state to play his college ball. But he came in at 265 pounds as a high school senior and didn’t receive much interest from the big time schools in the Sunshine State.\u00a0Despite offers from Florida Atlantic and Florida International, Lamp decided to make the trek north in committing to WKU.<\/p>\n

After redshirting, the coaching staff thrust Lamp into the spotlight right away. He started all 12 games as a redshirt freshman in 2013, including nine at left tackle. The following year, he emerged as one of Conference USA’s best linemen, earning all-league first team honors. He continued to dominate on the perimeter as a junior, with Pro Football Focus naming him the top tackle from a non-Power Five School in 2015. His senior season, much like the previous year, resulted in Western Kentucky winning the conference title as well as their bowl game.<\/p>\n

All in all, Lamp made a total of 51 starts for the Hilltoppers across four seasons. And he earned third-team All-American honors by the Associated Press during his final year in Bowling Green.<\/p>\n
