Baltimore Ravens defensive end Calais Campbell wants to be a champion before he retires from the NFL — and after it as well.
This offseason, the 35-year-old Campbell decided to return for his 15th season to chase that elusive Super Bowl ring. When he does walk away from the game, he will shift his title pursuit to winning the World Series of Poker Main Event.
Campbell has played poker since college and has totaled $11,487 in live earnings. He has participated in other WSOP events annually but has never entered the Main Event because the end of the tournament is too close to the start of training camp.
