Caleb Campbell drafted by the Lions must serve in the Army first
Caleb Campbell a West Point graduate who was drafted by the Detroit Lions in the seventh round will not be allowed to play in the NFL until he serves two years in the Army.
I for one applaud this policy, if Lt. Campbell's biggest dream in life was to play in the NFL he should have attended LSU, Notre Dame, Ohio State or USC. Instead he took a spot at West Point, and there were hundreds of young men and women who would have gladly taken his place in what they call "The Long Grey Line". He received a world class education 100% free of charge and frankly I think two years is a small price to pay, even if that time is spent in Iraq or Afghanistan.
To his credit Lt. Campbell doesn't seem to be whining about this, which is what I would expect from a West Point man.
