After a slow-simmering rookie year, Campbell took the sophomore leap that should be expected from a 2023 first-round pick. His snap count jumped to 907 last season, nearing a full-time role. More important, he showed some improvement in coverage, became a more consistent tackler and was generally a more disruptive presence. Despite those positives, expecting another step forward and even a repeat of his 2024 season could be a mistake. Campbell began last year in a part-time role, but that grew as injuries piled up in Detroit's linebacker corps. With Malcolm Rodriguez and Derrick Barnes both expected to be healthy this season, the Lions should have the depth to rotate in their linebacker corps once again. Campbell has proven himself, just keep expectations for another leap in check.
