My Take
Jack Campbell is exactly the kind of player I gravitate toward: a homegrown Iowan who turned into a unanimous All-American and Butkus Award winner before the Lions grabbed him in the first round. At 196 cm he's a towering linebacker, and earning All-Rookie honors tells me the production matched the pedigree. Linebacker is an unglamorous, thankless job, the beating heart of a defense, and that's precisely why I respect the role. Detroit's defense has been building an identity, and a vocal, instinctive tackler like Campbell fits that blueprint. I'm quietly curious to see how far his ceiling really stretches.
