Lions' Jack Campbell: Strong rookie season
Jack Campbell recorded 95 tackles, 2.0 sacks and one pass defended over 17 regular-season games in 2023.Campbell seemed ticketed for a starting job alongside Alex Anzalone after Detroit spent a first-round pick on Campbell, an off-ball linebacker, in the 2023 NFL Draft. While 2021 fourth-rounder Derrick Barnes opened the year in the starting lineup, both Campbell and Barnes ended the season having logged around 60 percent of the defensive snaps, and Campbell joined Anzalone in the starting lineup for 11 of the final 12 games while Barnes started only eight of those contests (while missing one game to injury). Thanks in part to a larger role on special teams, Campbell ultimately averaged half of a tackle more per game than Barnes along with one more sack and a pass breakup. With plenty of room to grow from a playing-time standpoint combined with Barnes entering the final year of his contract, the 23-year-old Campbell is a strong bet to be in Detroit's long-term plans and is a realistic candidate to have a bigger role entering his second season in the league.

Lions' Jack Campbell: Limited involvement at Dallas
Jack Campbell recorded five tackles (two solo) in Saturday's 20-19 loss at Dallas.Campbell's production was fine in Week 17, but it could be read as somewhat concerning that he was again third in snaps (39) among Detroit Lions linebackers behind Derrick Barnes (43) and Alex Anzalone (62). Detroit's matchup versus the Vikings in Week 18 does not play to Campbell's strength in defending against the run.

Lions' Jack Campbell: Another productive outing
Jack Campbell logged nine total tackles (four solo), including two tackles for loss in Sunday's 33-28 win over the Saints.Campbell tied his season-high in tackles during Sunday's contest, and his nine stops were also enough to tie Derrick Barnes for the Detroit Lions' leading tackler. The 2023 first-round pick has had a solid rookie season, but he's been a little inconsistent thus far, recording four or less tackles in six of the team's 12 games. Look for Campbell to continue learning and improving down the stretch for Detroit's defense.

Lions' Jack Campbell: Six tackles against Seattle
Jack Campbell recorded six tackles during Sunday's 37-31 loss to Seattle.Campbell came off the bench as Alex Anzalone, Derrick Barnes and James Houston (ankle) started at linebacker. He did well production-wise despite playing just a third of the defensive snaps, as five of his tackles came on defense opposed to special teams, where he has logged over half of the snaps in each game so far. There was a stretch in the third quarter when Campbell was involved on three consecutive tackles, and he later made back-to-back plays in the fourth quarter on short gains to Seattle's top two draft picks, Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Zach Charbonnet. With Houston set to miss multiple weeks due to a fractured ankle, Campbell could be in store for a boost in playing time sooner than later.

Lions' Jack Campbell: Surprise pick at 18th for Detroit
The Detroit Lions selected Jack Campbell in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft, 18th overall.Campbell is a big (6-foot-5, 249 pounds) linebacker with excellent testing athleticism (4.65-second 40, 128-inch broad jump, 6.74-second three-cone drill), and he was a three-down player in a suffocating Iowa defense. The Hawkeyes' run defenses are always good, though, and Campbell failed to produce the way you would expect of someone with his athleticism. More specifically, Campbell was allergic to the backfield, making just 5.5 tackles for loss out of 128 total tackles last year. Six Iowa defenders logged more tackles for loss than Campbell did in 2023. By selecting Campbell this high the Lions are almost compelled to give him a three-down role as a rookie, and with that Campbell would be on the IDP radar in most formats.
