Even at 40, New Orleans Saints tight ends coach Dan Campbell could probably still pass for a current player.

Campbell is tall and muscular with close cropped hair. At 6'5, he stands over most of the tight ends he coaches, with perhaps the exception of 6-foot-6 Coby Fleener.

His appearance these days is a little different from his playing days, when he had long wavy hair that reached his shoulders. But his mindset from those days hasn't changed much.

Campbell is in his first season as an assistant head coach/tight ends coach for the Saints after six seasons with the Dolphins as an intern tight ends coach, and interim coach last year.
