The Detroit Lions pulled another surprise within the first-round of the 2023 NFL draft, nabbing Iowa linebacker Jack Campbell with the 18th-overall selection.
Campbell comes to the team to provide thump on defense, and it’s something he has been able to with regularity in college. As the winner of the Nagurski Award as the nation’s top linebacker, Campbell was on Detroit’s radar thanks to his play, but in addition to that, Campbell impressed due to his values.
Clearly, Campbell is a meat-and-potatoes football player, and he liked meeting with the team during the NFL combine, and praised the team’s culture when speaking to the media on Thursday, April 27.
Campbell said he had a formal interview with the Lions at the Combine and said it was a great meeting. Loves the culture in Detroit.

“Campbell said he had a formal interview with the Lions at the Combine and said it was a great meeting. Loves the culture in Detroit,” Twentyman tweeted.
If that wasn’t good enough, Campbell dropped a fantastic quote after he was selected, and proved what a fit for the culture he would be. As he explained to reporters including Tim Twenyman of DetroitLions.com, he likes that it’s all about football with the Lions, which is all that matters.
