Detroit Lions veteran quarterback Kevin Zeitler had a simple solution for the team if they were to be without a player – he put on the jersey of head coach Dan Campbell.
“He could probably fit in if we're desperate and need him — and just call plays from the huddle,” Zeitler said, according to The Athletic's Michael Silver. “Coach Campbell is just a culture and an attitude, and it's contagious.”
Before he started coaching in the NFL in 2015, Campbell was in a tough situation for ten years in the NFL.
Drafted out of Texas A&M in the third round of the 1999 NFL Draft, Campbell spent his first four years with the New York Giants before moving on to the Dallas Cowboys and eventually finishing his playing career with the Detroit Lions.
During his three-year tenure with the Lions, Campbell played in 19 games, amassing 330 yards on 34 receptions with four touchdowns.
Now, Campbell is on track to lead the Lions to a potential Super Bowl, as the team holds the second-best record (14-2) in the NFL, behind the Kansas City Chiefs.
Let's just say, if something were to happen to star tight ends Sam LaPorte and Brock Wright, Campbell might have something special in his bag to save the day.
