Darryl Sampson was a second round pick (16th overall) of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the 1986 CFL college drft. Sampson went on to play ten seasons with the Bombers (1986-95). Sampson was released on June 24, 1996, just prior to the start of the 1996 season, and later signed with Hamilton in August where he finished his career. Sampson had a good turn of speed and was used almost entirely as a kick returner in his rookie season, compiling a very respectable 10.7 yard average on punt returns. Sampson worked his way into the lineup as a regular defensive back and had his best season in 1993 when he was named to both the East and CFL All-Star teams. Sampson had 21 career interceptions, with a career high of six in his 1993 All-Star season. Sampson scored two career touchdowns, both coming on fumble returns. Sampson was with the Bombers for four Grey Cup appearances, a pair of Grey Cup wins in 1988 and 1990 and two loss in 1992 and 1993.
