Soldier Forgoes Iraq For NFL, Lions Draft Caleb Campbell

Back


http://zennie2005.blogspot.com - In the 7th Round of the 2008 NFL Draft a huge cheer erupted from the small-compared-to-Day-One crowd and it was for a little-known cadet who also played football for Army. Caleb Campbell, who was drafted by the Detroit Lions in that last round. As that happened I talked to Dr. Bill Chackhes who gave me the details on Campbell's story. Caleb basically deferred going to Iraq as a officer after he is to graduate with the current Army class of 2008. The Army is allowing him to play in the NFL. Everyone was enthusiastic to meet the man Bill called "The All American Boy" and this video captures that moment.
