TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — Calais Campbell stands an imposing 6-foot-8 and weighs 300 pounds, making him one of the tallest defensive linemen in the NFL.
The size can be a blessing and a burden — a blessing because he can swat away passes and field goal tries and bury hapless quarterbacks, a burden because he has to constantly remember to stay low lest he be an easy target for blockers.
Last season was a breakout one for Campbell, and he's been rewarded with a big contract as he enters his fifth year in the league. His goal, he says, is to show everyone that the money was well spent.
