LIONS SCREWED AGAIN: Army orders Lions draft pick Campbell to withdraw
Caleb Campbell will not get a chance to play for the Detroit Lions because of a change in military policy.
Campbell was a seventh-round draft pick for the Lions in April. At the time, Army policy would have allowed the West Point graduate to serve as a recruiter if he made the team.
But a subsequent Department of Defense policy has superseded the 2005 Army policy.
Not that this is really a serious blow to the Lions. Campbell wasn’t projected to have a major impact on the team. But it’s just another example of things going from bad to worse for the struggling team.
