Detroit Lions linebacker Jack Campbell ended the 2024 NFL season as the 10th-highest graded player at his position, via Pro Football Focus …
According to PFF, "After a very disappointing rookie season in which he earned a 52.1 PFF overall grade while getting torched in coverage (35.3 PFF coverage grade), Campbell showed significant improvement in Year 2 in the middle of the Lions‘ defense."
"Every facet of Campbell’s game improved in 2024: His PFF overall grade jumped from 52.1 to 78.7, his PFF run-defense grade moved from 75.8 to 82.5 and his PFF tackling grade went from 66.4 to 83.1," wrote Jim Wyman. "But perhaps nowhere was he more impressive than in coverage, where his grade skyrocketed from 35.3 to 74.2 after he didn't allow a touchdown and broke up three passes."

He, along with Jah, were terrible picks. Reaches.

I mean I wasn’t disappointed in his 2023 season, but OK.
It’d sure be great if Martin, Manu or Rakestraw saw a similar year-over-year performance improvement..
I’m willing to bet that Reader also played a major role in keeping JC clean enough to do his job and improve.
This right here, is that shit that I like very much.
Yea, Holmes should not have taken a LB in the first round.
