Today was the third day of the NFL owner’s meetings and it’s been an eventful day in Phoenix. Much of that is due to plenty of coaches talking with the media. For the Detroit Lions, yesterday was the day that Brad Holmes had a handful of interviews but today was a day for Dan Campbell to sit at the roundtable and talk with the media.
During the interview, Campbell mentioned that this was his first year at the ownership meetings. He mentioned that he was “fired up to be here but there’s a lot to take in and a lot of the time, you’re just reading the room when you walk in.”
I’m sure Campbell makes an impactful impression no matter what room he walks in or with whoever he talks to. His passion for the game of football and coaching shines through every single time he talks. It was no different when talking to the media today.
He opened the media session by talking about how things have been going and how the energy has been in the facility since the season ended: “Was talking with Decker the other and called to see how he was doing. We got talking about our ability to win games last year and the belief in our building was at an all-time high. The foundation is here.”
In addition, here are some other key excerpts from today’s media session for Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell:
