The Caged Lion...Detroit Linebacker Jack Campbell | Johnny Gaz Sports

[@timmyhosmith3111]

Jack Campbell will probably end up going down as one of the most beloved Lions, he just has that mentality, work ethic and character.

[@johnnygazsports]

The City will fall in love with him this year. I think you are right!

[@AaronDrofwarc]

Been a die hard Lions/Hawkeye fan since the mid 80's and i swear i had this feeling right before the 18th pick that we were gonna draft an absolute pillar for our team and when they said captain jack i lost my friggin mind because i knew they did. No where to go but up for Jack! Holy moly it is a great time to be (an actual) lions fan! P.s. I wore my Lions starter jacket the day after their 16th loss. I bet there aren't a lot of people who can honestly say that.

[@johnnygazsports]

You are a true Lions fan! Believe me I get it. So excited to see Captain Jacks growth this year. Would not be surprised if that “C” is on his jersey very soon!

[@johnbullard9611]

I was born n raised in Florida but moved up to Michigan for about 2 years n I’ve now been a lion for over 25 years and I’ve always wore my colors even when we were 0-16… So I can say I did the same but there weren’t many of us…

[@scottjones1109]

Dan Campbell came out and said Jack Campbell is 'A Man', meaning, I believe, he is looking physically & mentally improved over last year. That can only be good news for the Lions.

[@elizabethdale8566]

It was AG that said that.

[@johngordon5168]

Jack Campbell is a future HOF.

[@ManuelCorrea-jr3ds]

If he stays healthy

[@ManifestMyFuturesDestiny]

I think he has all the physical and mental tools to do it.

[@Keepontrumpin]

Easy call

[@DetroitTyler]

Let the kid get an all pro before we even start with HOF. I think he'll have a good year and make a leap, but HOF is crazy talk at this point.

[@Keepontrumpin]

@@DetroitTyler ur right, he’s just got what it takes and we all see it

[@theronin9984]

99.7 of all my mocks included Capt. Jack, cuz U just don't see guys w/his height, build, athleticism, RAS, & elite production at the college level as a prospect everyday. He immediatley reminded me of Mike Lucci, Butkus, Spielman, Urlacher vibes-in a 2024 model. Trust me, he will be noticed this season! 🤔👍🏾🎙👍🏾#OnePride🦁

[@johnnygazsports]

He really has next level measurables and I agree that this is the breakout year. Thank you for watching and commenting!

[@stu_boogie2488]

99.7 seem to always dog the Lion's from what I've heard.

[@thomastaylor3419]

JC is my favorite Lion. What a great human being.

[@johnnygazsports]

The more I read into him the more I really began to appreciate who he is and what he has done. The future is bright!

[@jppagetoo]

The Mike backer is the hardest linebacker position to learn. You have to know where everybody is supposed to be not just where you are supposed to be. That takes a little time to learn. By recent accounts the coaching staff said he has. He will be better in year two. That will be amazing to see because he was pretty darn good in year one!

[@johnnygazsports]

Agree with this 100%. Hopefully Anzalone has been key with this learning.

[@paulfisher2390]

Quiet Power, who will make his mark with my Lions this year.

[@johnnygazsports]

Love his humble approach to life! Hope great things.

[@100point1percent]

I see him being the cement of this defense for a decade.

[@johnnygazsports]

Yes. He will be the backbone!

[@LionsOnTheHunt313]

Jack will take a giant step up the beanstalk this year!

[@johnnygazsports]

Fantastic! Comment of the day!!!

[@Harpazoed]

I look at Jack Campbell as a smaller Hutch. He should develop into a great LB. We have so many young players.

[@Harpazoed]

After we resigned Alex A it made all the sense in the world for Brad Holmes drafting J C.

[@johnnygazsports]

Alex A will be one of the biggest reasons JC succeeds. I’m glad he got to learn from him last year.

[@Lionbeard]

Great video! I agree that he has shown some excellent potential already and people are definitely sleeping on him. Wont be surprised at all if he goes crazy this season.

[@johnnygazsports]

Thank you a lot! Sleeping giant right here IMO.

[@mortalfilms313]

He was ok for year 1.I don’t expect him to go crazy just yet but it’s definitely coming along.

[@anandnathan6851]

Thanks JG

[@josephmurdock8365]

Holmes did what he said he was going to do... just not in the order expected. His drafting is showing serious potential at winning the SB.

[@johnnygazsports]

Agreed! The drafting strategy is paying off.

[@tonyblumenschein7218]

The Lions needed guys that can tackle that wasn't sure at first but I'm sure glad we got this guy now running backs don't get away from him Go Lions

[@johnnygazsports]

He is a pure tackling machine. Once he gets more comfortable with the scheme and calls he will lead this team in tackles for sure!

[@soccerwizard975]

Lions just need to suck it up and play the kid at his natural MLB spot. He was big when he played it last year. I don't know if the staff wanted him to experience other positions so he could understand the defense better. Campbell has talked about how he got more comfortable with the front 7 last year, maybe there was intension in that decision

[@johnnygazsports]

I thought the same thing last year. But I think you’re right that they wanted to groom him into his natural position. Also needed time to adjust to the scheme and other player tendencies.

[@16nman]

There was a play last year, I want to say against Minnesota, where he shifted McNiell to the left and Mcniell made the play and I was like this guy is gonna be a certified STUD Correction: it was buggs, but point still stands

[@johnnygazsports]

Great catch. His control of the defense could be the difference in time.

[@Charleybones]

He pushed Buggs butt over right before the snap, and Buggs got the solo tackle. Capt'n Jack and Hutch together are a wrecking crew.

[@16nman]

@@Charleybones oh snap, you're right! Appreciate the correction!

[@arcticthundermi]

Campbell is a stud ! I want to point out something you have said. The Lions did not take a chance on him, he was the highest ranked player on their board at that pick..

[@johnnygazsports]

I just meant based on the positional value. He was def a guy they wanted. I may have mispoke but truly meant they were risking the 18 pick by choosing LB.

[@florida1289]

If Dan Campbell and Dick Butkus had twin boys they'd be Jack Campbell and Aidan Hutchinson.

[@johnnygazsports]

Truth! I’m finding a way to make this into a meme or something lol

[@richardgilbert5530]

Guys. Jack campbell is the new j.j. watt

[@johnnygazsports]

Needs to show a lot of progress to get into that category but believe me I’m down for it!

[@fredricclack7137]

Just JACK ⚒️💙🦁💚🔜

[@jeffduflo8204]

He can only get better. Getting used to the speed of the NFL. He'll be solid.

[@thenickfoxx]

For some reason ESPN has Anzalone at the Mike and Campbell at Will even though Alex took more snaps at Will and Campbell took more snaps at Mike last season lmao. Alex is actually an incredible Will LB so now that Jack is ready for the green dot it should free Alex up even more to fly around the field like a true Will.

[@johnnygazsports]

Both AA and JC will be able to naturally fit now into the positions they should be in but I am most excited to see Barnes thrive in his role moving forward!

[@toddgrant4268]

Thank god we have Brad Holmes!!!

[@johnnygazsports]

In BH we trust lol

[@markeastman5910]

Like to see Vildor redeem himself. Vildor, redeemer, baby! Let's go!

He will get his opportunities again this year. Hopefully less injury related but they do like him!

[@johnnygazsports]

Grown man lol

[@tonyblumenschein7218]

Good stuff today I think that is his natural position being in the middle and I think anzalone is a little faster so he can Patrol the side and run players down I watch the Chicago Bears and their 46 defense back in the day and they just got after you I wish we could have a couple of plays like that with our new cornerbacks patrolling we got to get after the quarterback the quarterback must go down and he must go down hard Go Lions

[@johnnygazsports]

The defensive front will really dictate how the backend does. We have more talent for sure in the secondary but its always predicated on the pass rush. Hoping Reader and Davenport along with a healthy James Houston will be the answer.

[@snapperl]

Not enough in game video of Jack Campbell making plays, too many still images.

[@stu_boogie2488]

Don't know about Campbell taking over for AA. Maybe taking over the green dot, but not the position since AA is a will linebacker as of 2023. Houston, Betts and Barnes will compete for SAM backer.

[@johnnygazsports]

Not sure it will break my heart if either of these guys play the Mike or Will position. AA is still listed as the Mike and JC the Will but I believe you my guy. My main point is you have a guy that is being groomed to take over the linebacking core (the green dot play caller) and take control of this defense. AA will gladly allow this to happen IMO.

[@stu_boogie2488]

@@johnnygazsports Yeah. Actually Barnes and Campbell split time at MLB and SAM backer. Peace.

[@johnnygazsports]

@@stu_boogie2488Damn I stand corrected. I was wrong and can admit that. Mislead by some reads but after more research you are 💯. You’re right in that Campbell really played behind Barnes last year. And if AA sticks on the other side than I am very happy having both him and Campbell on the field more together. James probably moves more towards the edge as well. Thank you for catching me on this before it went to far! Appreciate you.

[@antmas3507]

Campbell not a true fit as a Lions LB. He's more suited as a Steeler, Raven or another storied LB team. Lions will wreak him

[@johnnygazsports]

Not a Chris Spielman fan? Lol I get it.

[@abrahamrodriguez3240]

I can't believe that the Green Bay pundit is still saying that Brad made a mistake taking Gibbs and Campbell in the first round. He said Jahmyr is maybe in the top ten RB's in the league and he thinks that Campbell may become a halfway decent linebacker for the Lions this year. He also predicted that their lack of an elite edge to help out Hutch will leave them struggling to have a decent defense.

[@paulfisher2390]

We will look at those two picks as the beginning of the Detroit's road to a Superbowl Championship.
