Forrest Lamp (born February 21, 1994) is an American football offensive guard for the Los Angeles Chargers of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football at Western Kentucky.
Lamp attended Venice High School in Venice, Florida. He played both offensive and defensive line. He committed to Western Kentucky University to play college football.
Lamp redshirted his first year at Western Kentucky in 2012. He opened the season as the starter at right guard, before shifting to left tackle for the final nine games. Lamp remained the starting left tackle throughout his college career, starting 51 games total in his career.
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.
The Los Angeles Chargers selected Lamp in the second round (38th overall) of the 2017 NFL Draft. On May 11, the Chargers signed Lamp to a four-year, $6.66 million contract with $3.75 million guaranteed and a signing bonus of $2.98 million.
