Dan Campbell kinda players

Who are some of your favorite players you’ve watched growing up that would fit perfectly with this staff? I was watching mike Alstott highlights and I couldn’t help thinking how fun it would be to watch him on this team. Mark bavaro would be another. Who are your old favorites from other era’s?

Or if you’re bored go ahead and build your all Dan Campbell team.

90s Junior Seau. The intensity and toughness that guy played with was incredible.

Ronnie Lott, he would rather cut a finger off and keep playing then sit out.

In a Lions theme, Chris Spielman.

Speilman recommended Campbell be hired, because Campbell reminded Spielman of himself in his interview. Which means that would come full circle.

I know this wasn’t the question, but in this years draft, Cam Skattebo fits the Dan Campbell profile to a T!!!

His play-style does, but I’m not sure about his personality. One of the scouts that Bob McGinn quotes for his draft series said this about him:

“Looks like a garbage man. Short, squatty, bad body. Crazy thing is, his makeup’s not very good. They don’t really like the guy at the school other than the fact what he does on Saturday."

So I obviously can’t confirm that and it could be a whole lot of nothing. The other scouts don’t say it so blatantly, though maybe they kind of hint at it with stuff like “he’s an oddball.” I don’t want to slander the guy, which is why I’m saying maybe. I could be wrong here. But there are definitely some whispers out there.

Hines Ward run blocking was a wild man! Here he is knocking Ed Reed into a different dimension.

58 truly is a perfect weapon. His talent, work ethic, mindset, athletic intelligence, leadership, high motor, mean streak, etc. He’s perfect.

…I think 32 and 46 have a chance to be that elite as well.
Ra, while not as much a physical freak as the others, is perfect for our team too. Cat is wired absolutely perfect for what we have going on here.
