Those who don't learn from their mistakes are doomed to repeat them. It’s a timeless saying, speaking to the importance of reflection and lesson learning. Some lessons are learned the hard way and others from observing. The Dallas Cowboys’ newest free agent addition, wide receiver Parris Campbell, falls into the latter category of lessons.

Once upon a time Campbell was one of the hottest prospects in the draft. The Ohio State All-Star was a Championship athlete with a game-breaking skillset. At 6-foot, 205-pounds and 4.3 40-speed, Campbell is rare combination of size and speed. With the ability to stop and start on a dime, Campbell was both a feared return man as well as a rushing and receiving threat.
