@@Calife-xt8jm Brown was for sure a much better player than Campbell was. But Campbell was good more than once he might have only had one all pro season. But when he played for the Falcons next to Weatherspoon, Deion Jones, and Foye Oluokun he was a pretty good player and the 2019 season for us he was just as good as he was in his all pro season for the Packers. Still a lame thing to do what he just did to the 49ers.

Talk about burning a bridge! You have to figure that for any professional football player the game of football will be central to their life even after they stop playing. Whether they coach, comment, or even just sign old memorabilia and enjoy life, they are always going to be associated with the game. But now, -- all for the sake of not finishing out a game he _only_ had to play one more quarter in -- De'Vondre Campbell has tarnished his name for the rest of his life. No matter what he accomplished during his entire football career -- he's now going to be known foremost as the guy who decided to stop playing in the middle of an NFL game. He's going to regret that rash decision to the end of his days.
