Casey Hampton, Jr. (born September 3 1977 in Galveston, Texas), also known as Casey "Hamburger", is an American Football nose tackle who currently plays for the Pittsburgh Steelers of the National Football League. He is a throwback to the Steelers Steel Curtain era, wide-framed with a thick chest, wide hips and big thighs, as opposed to the modern, "Sleek" defensive lineman theory, which is more like having four defensive ends. He is very instinctive and explodes through the line. Hampton can defeat a blocker with strength and all-out effort and has a low center of gravity that allows him to gain leverage against opponents. He is a tough, durable field leader for the Steelers.
