I had heard the same from other sources.
Take a look at this training camp report that shows Hamlett is action. Go to the 50 second point of the video to see.

Mary Kay Cabot and Dan Labbe, cleveland.com Browns beat writers, discuss the news of the day (with a couple fun clips at the end) during Day 4 of Cleveland Browns training camp.
The guy is 6'8 and knows how to use his body to position and you can see how he uses his frame to box out DBs but I have to point out two things.
- Starting TE Gary Barnidge is out with a hernia opening up some opportunities
- Rookie TE Seth DeValve is also out with a hamstring injury and has yet to see the field

Thumbs down
On a night when rookie free agent Geronimo Allison continued to impress with his precise routes and soft hands, third-year pro Jeff Janis was digging himself deeper into a hole. Janis has not had a good start to camp and his opportunities seem to be shrinking. It’s a rare night when he gets so open that you actually notice it and when his hands fail him as they did Wednesday night, his prospects fade even further. Maybe Janis will turn it on in the games, which was sort of the case last year, but for someone in his third season he can’t keep having so many negative plays. The worst of his efforts was on a goal-line route in which Rodgers put the ball right into his arms. But as he went to the ground, he let the ball slip through his arms, negating what should have been a short touchdown catch. Janis wasn’t the only one dropping balls –Davante Adams had a bad one over the middle in the red zone – but at least Adams has been making plays. Janis just can’t seem to win enough routes in practice and is putting immense pressure on himself to be great in the games. His special teams play will make it hard to cut him, but if he can’t contribute as a receiver, the Packers are going to have a difficult choice to make.
