“Some of these guys, I remember I had a guy in Miami, god he love ball. He was a dynamic football player, but he came in everyday just reeking of alcohol. He was probably on a bender for who knows how long, but god he loved football,” Campbell explained.

“He showed up, he didn’t have any MAs [missed assignments], he hustled non-stop, and it’s like, you know what? You’ll find a way to make that guy work. Not saying we want those guys, but he loved ball, and he had success, and he’s still playing today, but the way.”
