Jack Campbell has burst onto the scene for the Detroit Lions in 2025. After his third consecutive game with a sack (4.0 sacks on the season), along with nine tackles, the 2023 1st round draft pick is set to join Aidan Hutchinson with the next long-term extension for the Lions.

Campbell has continued to improve since coming into the NFL, emerging with 131 tackles amongst injuries running rampant throughout the Lions defense.
