Calais Campbell has been the greatest cheerleader the Atlanta Falcons could ask for since signing with the team. In the short time since he joined up, he’s directed outsized praise to this franchise, this front office, this coaching staff, and even quarterback Desmond Ridder. Given Campbell’s reputation as a locker room leader and one of the longest-tenured and most respected defensive veterans in the NFL, it’s hard to take those words lightly.
In an interview with longtime NFL insider Josina Anderson on her podcast, The Crew, Campbell revealed more about his decision to sign with the Falcons, where he expects to play in Atlanta, and what the team did to sell him on Ridder as the starting quarterback.
