  1. Love this GM and Coach, people want to be a lion, we turned into a destination, we always had to over pay to get people to come here, and how about a hats off to Shelia Camp, for letting them build this thing thier way, and giving them everything they ask for, I think Jack Cambell is a Spielman guy, we need a stud linebacker, and if Jahmys Gibbs is even close to the Kamara type, well done, Swift has not been healthy since we drafted him, Shelia Camp Ford, you go girl. This will be one of the best Lions teams we ever seen on the field, no doubt.

  2. The consensus among the most knowledgeable draft analysts forecasted Campbell as a middle 2nd round pick..All of them are saying this was a real stretch..

  3. I love the energy and compassion everyone in the room seem to share. I am proud to be a Lions fan for the first time in a very long time. Can not wait to see the new draftees in pre-season. I will be making a trip to AP this year for sure.

  4. OK peeps….maaaannn, I tell yall what :

    THAT FIRST STATEMENT FROM COACH CAMPBELL TO OUR NEW ROOKIE LB, JACK CAPMBELL, HE SAID AND I QUOTE "HEY JACK, I LOVE YOUR LAST NAME BRO"
    WAS ABSOLUTE GOLD!!!!

  5. I’m guessing Jack had a lot to say about his dedication and determination…I can’t wait to hear what he said in return

  6. We drafted a slow unathletic throwback middle linebacker that we could've gotten in the 2nd round…great. I get lineback is a position of need but Nolan Smith was there if you wanted him that kid from Arkansas wouldve been there in the second,seems like we couldve drafted Brian breese and help with our dline.But nope we got a B10 slow white dude

  7. Something ironic about having a Casino watermark on the draft room in the same facility that players were suspended for gambling in. Not great optics lol

  8. Captain Jack says on joining Detroit: “It’s only about football (in Detroit) and football is all that matters.

    Hopefully hes gonna help make the defense fun to watch like it was when we had Fairly and Suh. Man I loved watching that defense. The only thing missing from it was secondary.

  9. The Lions front office, coach, and owner are a feel good story and family. A group we can all cheer for and say "man I hope they succeed"……But at the end of the day if you don't win it's all for nothing. I don't get a happy happy joy joy feelings from Howie and the Eagles, but they straight up build and build and build.

  10. Captain Jack has the best all-around game of any of the 'backers in this draft.

    To the talking heads like Kiper, (who said it was a reach) you only got 1 guy right out of 30 predictions….no good.

    I trust Lions brass more than the so-called experts.

    it does seem like a weird draft, where we probably over-drafted guys, but I think it's because so many players have similar grades on them.
    When people say it wasn't a good pick, I ask, who would they have taken? not alot of answers on that one ..

    probably came down to intangibles and leadership qualities, and Campbell has all of that.

    Welcome to Detroit Jack!
    We love our linebackers.

  11. I don’t understand why so many people hate this pick, he is a 2x Butkus award winner, captain of the Iowa defense, and he aced his combine. He’s great

  12. The only way I would like Jack Campbell more is if he played at Linebacker U. I’ll accept it though because he’s a huge cornerstone piece for this team and I’m beyond excited to see where they can go. ONEPRIDE!!

  13. I was really excited when they took him at 18. I’ve always wanted the Lions to have that big menacing 6’5 250 pound linebacker. He reminds me of Urlacher so much, great against the run, powerful, excellent in pass coverage. The guy is a dog, this will be your MLB for the next 10 years

  14. All I can notice in this video is Chris Spielman with the biggest smile on his face. You can tell this is a Spielman guy

  15. the lions are drafting good people not just players… CULTURE is the difference maker and the right people make the right culture thrive!!

  16. As a lifelong Lions fan it's amazing to see a GM, coach and owner who are doing everything right. ONE PRIDE

  17. Finally got our Spielman of the 2020s. One of the last pieces of the puzzle we've needed to solve for a minute. We haven't had the talent at LB like we have in Rodrigo AND now Jack Campbell since DeAndre Levy in his prime yrs.
    Meet the future Captain of our future Top 5 D. This is BADASS

  18. YEA-Uuuuuh!!!! GO HEAD SHEILA!!!! Lady Hamp is truly invested!!! 💪🏿💪🏿Let’s Go!
