When the Green Bay Packers signed De’Vondre Campbell on June 9, the move very much flew under the radar.
The Packers had all but neglected the inside linebacker position for years and this was just their latest half-hearted attempt to fill the position after Christian Kirksey didn’t pan out last year. It was the usual summer signing that many didn’t pay much mind to.
After five games this season, people are now paying much more attention to Campbell.
Campbell has not only contributed but has been a standout on the Green Bay’s defense. He made what should have been the game-clinching interception in Sunday’s win over the Cincinnati Bengals (special teams struck again, as we know) but he’s been on point all year.
