Lapham attended Wakefield Memorial High School in Wakefield, Massachusetts, where he was a three-year letterman and captain in basketball and football and a four-year letterman and captain in track. He is a member of the school's hall of fame.
He then attended Syracuse University's Newhouse School of Communications. At Syracuse, he lettered in three seasons and was a team captain. He played in the 1973 East-West Shrine Game, the North-South Game, the Senior Bowl and the Hula Bowl.
Lapham was selected by the Bengals in the third round of the 1974 draft. He played with them until 1984, when he signed a 10-year guaranteed personal services contract with business tycoon Donald Trump, the majority owner of the New Jersey Generals. Lapham called it a "... business decision for my family."Linebacker Jim LeClair, his Bengals teammate, also signed with the Generals.
