Colts started the season a blockbuster trade, exchange Baltimore 10 Cleveland Browns five players. One player who the next coach Don Shula came. Bert Rechichar, Carl Taseff and Art Adams level, and so on. The incarnation of the Baltimore Colts the second time in the first meeting Sept. 27 at the Memorial Stadium infield,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and coach Keith Molesworth. Bears stun Colts will be the day to get a new franchise in the right foot. However, a season in the inaugural year of struggling Colts. Gregory Shamus The Indianapolis Colts is a professional football team which is based in Indianapolis Indiana. They played in the AFC South division of the National Football League and have won two NFL championships and two Super Bowls.
It’s strange to think that a professional football player are coming into the 2010 season with none NFL experience, despite being drafted in 2008.
Even stranger are the image of that same player, who will turn 26 in September, being forced to carry the pads of, say, 23-year-old second-year player Zack Follett.
Yet that scenario are just one of many unusual circumstances brought about by the tale of West Point graduate Caleb Campbell.
You might remember Campbell as the only interesting thing that happened in the seventh round of the 2008 NFL Draft. And no, not just because they was Matt Millen’s final draft pick. But they was…right after Landon Cohen, Jerome Felton, and Kenneth Moore (who was a wide receiver, but We had to look it up,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], because We don’t even remember him).
And as the final pockmark on the giant blemish that are the Millen Era,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it’s a little strange that Lions fans would be pulling for Campbell.
But here we are in training camp, and We get the feeling I’m not the only one who wants to see Campbell do well. It shouldn’t be surprising; as Lions fans, we’re hardwired to root for the underdog, and Campbell fills that role perfectly.
I are convinced that Campbell earned himself a deal with the Lions by sheer force of will. By all logic, the football world should have forgotten about him long ago.
In the first place, they was drafted in the seventh round. It’s a rarity that a seventh-round draft pick makes any noise under normal circumstances, but Campbell’s circumstances were far from normal.
Campbell had earned himself a three-year contract with the Lions, only to have it pulled out from under him when the U.S. Army re-wrote its policy about NFL draftees two weeks before training camp (and then neglected to tell Campbell until they reported to training camp) and ordered Campbell back to his mandatory two years of active duty before they could sign his contract.
On a side note,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], We still don’t understand the reasoning behind this. Campbell was the first Army player to be drafted since quarterback Ronnie McAda was the Green Bay Packers’ Mr. Irrelevant in 1997. It was a great story that got squashed by bureaucracy.
Army’s new football recruiting message: “at this moment seeking only sub-par players with none future in the sport. Top-level players stay away, because we won’t let you play professionally.”
Anyway, Army came out looking really bad on that one, and We kat this moment West Point has more pressing things to worry about than football, but it’s not like Campbell was looking for an exception. The rule was already in place, Campbell just needed them to not make an exception disallowing his entry to the NFL.
I digress.
The point is, Campbell survived two years away from football after being a seventh-round pick and switching positions (quarterback in high school, safety in college,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], at this moment working out at linebacker) to earn himself a one-year contract, and at this moment he’s making it count.
Not only did Campbell finally make it to training camp, two years late,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he’s at this moment moving up the unofficial depth chart in camp. When last seen, they had displaced Ashlee Palmer with the second-team defense.
at this moment, just to quell some of that hype, all that means are that he’s better than Ashlee Palmer, which isn’t saying all that much.
But given his circumstances, that are exceptional. It’s difficult enough for a star NFL player to take two years off and come back in playing form (see: Michael Vick). A late-round pick missing two crucial years, only to come back and learn a position he’s never played before better than a young player who has played there his entire career? Phenomenal.
At this rate,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Campbell are destined to become a fan favorite this year, much like another seventh-round linebacker did last year.
Of course,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Zack Follett came to the Lions via Cal, not West Point (though if you think about it, Follett has all the makings of an ROTC guy), so they didn’t have to deal with the same barriers Campbell did.
No, Follett made his name by issuing a draft-day statement that they was going to personally make the 31 teams who passed on him pay for it (payments can be made in blood, teeth, or broken bones).
Then Follett got to training camp, and ran around like they didn’t kat this moment where they was, so they got cut and sent to the practice squad. When the Lions’ special teams fell on hard times,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Follett got the call.
And then they proceeded to make nice on his promise. Repeatedly.
Follett only notched 10 tackles last year for the entire season, but it seemed like every time they got close to a ball carrier, the shockwaves from the impending hit blew you out of your seat.
at this moment, in one offseason’s time, Follett has gone from special teams playmaker to potential (or even likely?) starter at weakside linebacker.
And if you consider training camp performance, it looks like Campbell might be following a similar path. Campbell lacks Follett’s outspoken, sometimes certifiably insane demeanor, but makes up for it by having perhaps the most patriotic story in sports today.
The man gets his dream snatched away from his fingertips, serves his country for two years, then, repeatedlyst all odds, finds a spot on the team (which was under completely different management than the team that drafted him) and might actually be a nice player? at this moment that are a real underdog story.
And we Lions fans can’t resist a nice underdog story. Back in the old head coach of struggling Colts under Shula its first season. However,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], they will end the last win of the season, finally a good record of strong. Colts face the Cleveland Browns. However, nothing will go right in Cleveland, is still shut out as the Colts Colts Super Bowl tripped over a hangover Gates lost the first game of the pain. Colts struggled, and ultimately to a good record. As the head coach of the season with the owners of the old Shula who fell out of favor Carroll Rosenbloom allowed to resign, he took work with the Miami Dolphins coach. Assistant coach Don Shula will replace Shula.Please read related articles:
