A closer look at Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell’s playing career

Life has always been about football for Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell—going all the back to when he played tailback and tight end for Glen Rose High School in a small town in Texas. A town so small that Campbell said there were no stop lights in the entire town, and there were only 6-10 kids per classroom in his high school.

It’s a wonder that Campbell even made it to the NFL, but he did. He’s made quite the career out of it, too. Today I want to do career retrospective on Dan Campbell the player and see how he got here.
