Jack Campbell Adjusting To Nuances Of NFL
1 year agoDetroit Lions rookie linebacker Jack Campbell is still adjusting to the nuances of the NFL game, and linebackers coach Kelvin Sheppard has challenged him regularly this offseason. Head coach Dan Campbell said the rookie has been hard on himself, which can be a "blessing and a curse," because they want him to move past his early mistakes. The No. 18 overall pick in this year's draft is growing daily while Detroit throws a lot at him as an inside linebacker while asking him to play with vision. "I think like with any young player, he's smart enough to understand what's going on, but he's not processing it fast enough because he's young," Dan Campbell said. "It gets on him fast. The speed of the game's different, and that'll come."
