## College career at Northern Illinois
Lampe spent four seasons at Northern Illinois from 2021 to 2024 and appeared in 47 consecutive games, with his primary responsibility as a blocker in the run game.[1](https://static.www.nfl.com/league/apps/league-site/media-guides/2025/NE.pdf) He began his collegiate career as a linebacker, listed at that position as a freshman in 2021, before switching to fullback.[4](https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/players/brock-lampe-1.html) • [5](https://steelersdepot.com/2025/04/2025-nfl-draft-scouting-report-northern-illinois-fb-brock-lampe/)
His offensive statistics were modest, as is typical for the position. Over his career he recorded 18 receptions for 216 yards and a touchdown, and added 20 carries for 66 yards and 2 touchdowns.[1](https://static.www.nfl.com/league/apps/league-site/media-guides/2025/NE.pdf) His largest single-season contribution came in 2023, when he carried the ball 13 times for 52 yards and a touchdown and caught 7 passes for 87 yards across 13 games.[4](https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/players/brock-lampe-1.html) As a senior in 2024 he helped lead the way for a Northern Illinois rushing attack that averaged 203.8 rushing yards per game, a figure the Patriots' media guide gives as 200.8.[6](https://www.seahawks.com/news/seahawks-sign-fb-brock-lampe) • [1](https://static.www.nfl.com/league/apps/league-site/media-guides/2025/NE.pdf) He was named to the All-MAC Academic team once during his time at NIU.[7](https://www.famousbirthdays.com/people/brock-lampe.html)
## Path to the NFL
Lampe went undrafted in the 2025 NFL Draft. A pre-draft scouting report projected him as a late Day Three pick or priority undrafted free agent, describing him as an old-school, punishing run blocker with good pad level and leg drive, and noting pro-day measurements of a 4.40-second short shuttle, a 7.43-second three-cone drill, a 34-inch vertical jump, a 9-foot-4 broad jump, and 22 repetitions at 225 pounds on the bench press at 244 pounds.[5](https://steelersdepot.com/2025/04/2025-nfl-draft-scouting-report-northern-illinois-fb-brock-lampe/) • [8](https://draftscout.com/dsprofile.php?DraftYear=2025&PlayerId=1061246)
The New England Patriots signed him as a rookie free agent on May 9, 2025, and he wore number 46.[1](https://static.www.nfl.com/league/apps/league-site/media-guides/2025/NE.pdf) He suffered a leg injury in training camp and was placed on injured reserve on July 29, 2025, missing his entire rookie season.[3](https://www.footballdb.com/players/brock-lampe-lampebr01/transactions) • [6](https://www.seahawks.com/news/seahawks-sign-fb-brock-lampe) New England waived him on July 22, 2026, after signing fullback Reggie Gilliam in free agency.[3](https://www.footballdb.com/players/brock-lampe-lampebr01/transactions) • [9](https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/players/26701144/brock-lampe/)
## Seattle and Buffalo, 2026
The [Seattle Seahawks](https://www.edgepedia.org/seattle-seahawks) signed Lampe on August 6, 2026, adding depth at fullback with Robbie Ouzts sidelined; his former college head coach, Thomas Hammock, had joined Seattle that offseason as a senior offensive assistant and running backs coach.[6](https://www.seahawks.com/news/seahawks-sign-fb-brock-lampe) He was waived with an injury designation on August 30, 2026, reverted to injured reserve, and was waived from injured reserve with an injury settlement on September 1, 2026, making him a free agent once healthy.[3](https://www.footballdb.com/players/brock-lampe-lampebr01/transactions) • [9](https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/players/26701144/brock-lampe/) The Buffalo Bills signed him to their practice squad on September 14, 2026.[3](https://www.footballdb.com/players/brock-lampe-lampebr01/transactions) He has not appeared in an NFL regular-season game.[9](https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/players/26701144/brock-lampe/)
## Playing style
A 2026 scouting report describes Lampe as a broad-shouldered, well-built blocker who combines good pad level and active feet with advanced read-and-react abilities, able to disengage from combo blocks to reach the second level and to serve as a move blocker from a traditional fullback alignment or as an H-back. It notes some power as a short-yardage ball carrier and smooth hands as a receiver out of the backfield, while flagging limited burst and a tendency for his leverage to be compromised by overeagerness at the point of attack.[10](https://www.patspulpit.com/new-england-patriots-roster/130676/brock-lampe-scouting-report-2026-preview-strengths-weaknesses)
## Personal life
Lampe is the son of Tina and Rick Lampe and grew up in Kenosha, Wisconsin, where he was a four-year starter at Bradford High School, playing both offense and defense.[1](https://static.www.nfl.com/league/apps/league-site/media-guides/2025/NE.pdf) • [7](https://www.famousbirthdays.com/people/brock-lampe.html) He was coached by [Mike Vrabel](https://www.edgepedia.org/mike-vrabel) during his rookie season in New England.[7](https://www.famousbirthdays.com/people/brock-lampe.html)
