Interesting fact about rookie S DJ Campbell

[JawnyBlaze]

Bet you didn’t know: He attended Cheyenne High in North Las Vegas with two of Panthers coach Ron Rivera’s nieces.

Wonder if that had any influence on the decision to draft him, lol.

I think this was brought up around draft time that there was a connection between the 2.

So I am sure it had some influence.

it might have gotten him noticed more than others at that point in the draft.

He also went to Cal. Same school as Rivera. Wonder if Ron recruited him for there to.

Could be the NFL is just like every other job, its not what you know its who you know.

That and DJ had a pretty good pro day where he stood out in terms of speed and timed skills.

and who you can get to notice you.

Yea, I knew about the Cal connection, didn't know about the high school with his nieces thing.

he won't make the team

Yep, he's probably fighting with Pugh and Nelson for the practice squad. It's too bad; I liked the kid. Just goes to show, you shouldn't get too attached to 7th rounders.

another reason i think we will be on Keenan Allen next spring. that and he is from Gboro and we know Hurney likes locals but we always seem to get the wrong ones.

I'd rather have him than Pugh.
