LB Jack Campbell excited to be in Detroit after clicking with Lions in Combine meeting


The Lions learned that for themselves when they sat down with Campbell for a formal interview at the Combine. Lions linebackers coach Kelvin Sheppard said it was the most passionate interview he’s ever been a part of as a coach. Campbell said it was fun to sit down with like-minded people in Lions GM Brad Holmes, head coach Dan Campbell and the rest of the coaching staff.

Campbell certainly seems like a perfect fit in Detroit both on and off the field.

On it, he’s a two-time captain and defending Butkus Award winner as the top linebacker in college football. He’s 6-foot-5, 249 pounds with terrific burst, athleticism and production. His 6.74 three-cone and 4.24 short shuttle were No. 1 among linebackers at the Combine. He ran the 40 in 4.65 seconds at nearly 250 pounds, and he racked up 271 tackles, nine tackles for loss, four interceptions and 11 passes defended the last two seasons combined.
