Early years to Present

Hamilton played his high school football at Dillon High School. His senior season in high school, Hamilton had more interceptions returned for touchdowns than receptions returned for touchdowns. His high school career totals were 36 catches for 745 yds and 9 TD's. This was mainly because his high school team mostly ran the ball. He had eight kickoffs returned for scores (plus eight more returned for touchdowns that were called back for penalties), and eight INT's with 3 returned for scores. Now he is married to Kim (Shelton) Hamilton from Whitmire, South Carolina. Kim coached Varsity Girls Basketball for Whitmire High School in Whitmire, SC and she is currently the Assistant Principal at Newberry High School. They reside in Newberry, South Carolina.

Professional career

San Francisco 49ers

Hamilton never caught a pass in his time with the 49ers and played in only the final two games of his rookie season (2004). Hamilton tore a ligament in his left knee during a summer workout and did not play a down in his second year in the NFL (2005).

While supposedly nursing his damaged knee, Hamilton did not participate in summer training activities. During this time, he was seen dunking in a charity basketball game. Early in training camp, Hamilton injured his hamstring and barely participated in workouts.

On August 11, of the 2006 San Francisco 49ers season, Hamilton was waived without ever catching a single pass.

Atlanta Falcons

After being signed by the Atlanta Falcons on March 15, 2007, he was waived on June 12, 2007.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

On October 24, 2007, Hamilton was signed to the practice squad of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers following a season-ending injury to wide receiver Mark Jones. Hamilton was released a week later.

Houston Texans

On November 21, 2007, Hamilton was signed to the Houston Texans' practice squad and remained there through the end of the 2007 season before becoming a free agent.

Denver Broncos

On February 11, 2008, Hamilton was signed by the Denver Broncos. He was waived on April 15, just one day after the team added receiver Samie Parker.

Toronto Argonauts

On January 29, 2009, Hamilton was signed by the Toronto Argonauts.[1] He was released on June 7, 2009.
