Shane Lechler dined with Metallica's lead singer

The Texans punter and the Miami Dolphins head coach played football together for the Aggies in the late 1990's. Campbell was a top-notch tight end who went on to play for a decade in the NFL after college.

Campbell loved, and still loves, the band Metallica.

Lechler's musical taste leans far more heavily to the country and western side of things.

But Lechler's the roommate who actually broke bread with the heavy metal band's lead singer, James Hetfield.

“I was with Robert Gallery, the lineman from Iowa who was with us in Oakland," Lechler said.
