Caleb Cambell

If anyone saw his story during the draft then you know him being drafted was a life or death situation. (If he doesn't get drafted then he's heading to Iraq) He gets to play football and represent Army in the NFL.

Good luck to you sir.

agreed postlp60... Iraq is no more dangerous than korea or china is, its just people are seeing the carnage and only that side of iraq so they think its like a death sentence.

but good luck to caleb, i hope he makes his army buddies proud

Being a Detroiter, I find it VERY interesting that our beloved Lions drafted this young man. Since ESPN made it a life or death time in Mr. Cambell's life, Well does he realize what coming to the Lions mean?

If he is into directionality (if such a word), he is being drafted into a non-direction team under Matt Millan's football knowledge! The "leadership" of this team STAYS in one direction until the next "bump" in the road.

Mr. Cambill will find that the coaching staff here will remind him of the Bobby Ross years at West Point! Our 3-M coaches have taken us in three different directions in eight years.

To me, the REAL bottom line for the Lions drafting this man is for the publicity that it will bring this team. Surely, ESPN will follow him throughout training! I am almost 100% that Caleb Cambill WILL be a Detroit Lion at the end of training camp, but will slip away right after the season begins.

Maybe active service ISN'T a bad situation!
