ALLEN PARK -- After finishing final exams Tuesday at West Point, Lions rookie linebacker Caleb Campbell can finally put some focus on football.
Campbell arrived at the team's training facility Wednesday and practiced in the afternoon after missing the first three mini-camp sessions. So he had plenty of excitement and anticipation once he stepped on the field.
"The rookie camp was great, and to now see and play with veterans, guys I've seen play on Sundays, that's a feeling I'll never forget," said Campbell, who also practiced Thursday morning. "This is awesome."
Campbell's stay, however, won't be long because he has to return to West Point next week to fulfill some graduation requirements.
Once those obligations are completed, Campbell expects to attend all of the Lions' voluntary organized team activities (OTA) scheduled over the next three weeks.
Campbell's military duties will most likely include an assignment at an Army unit or college in Metro Detroit during the off-season or during free time in-season.
"I'll find out soon what's going on with the Army life," Campbell said.
