Hampton was a member of the Bears from 1979-1990. He stayed as a Bear for his entire career, and will always be remembered as a legend. Hampton finished his career as a 5-time All-Pro, a 4-time Pro Bowler, ranked at number 11 on the 100 greatest Bears of All-Time list, and won the Super Bowl with the team in 1986.
Jackson finished the game with 2 tackles, and only allowed one catch, but he did allow a touchdown, which is what most likely made Hampton so mad. Hampton wanted to see more from Jackson, because right now, he sees him as a "clown."
As revealed by Bears insider Josh Schrock, Jackson was asked about his thoughts about the rant, where he responded with:
Jackson seems to be unbothered by the legends comments, and makes sure that once the Bears are playing well, that Hampton leaves his opinions to himself.
