Man!!! Now we know why he got drafted. It's MCDC Jr. 😂
Good show, thanks.
Campbell need a public speaking course he say “uh” and “umm” entirely too much
Interviewer needs to ask questions and then listen. Not
Opened ended questions: what is your training day schedule? Dietary guidelines?
What positions have you played? What other sports? Where did you grow up?
Outside hobbies? Favorite foods?
Leading the guest is tiresome and slow. We do not listen to Larry King to hear Larry talk about the guest, and then request the guest to agree, or acknowledge to Larry’s chatter.
Not being negative. To the point. Have suggested changes to formatting for improved broadcasting. Your personality and voice, your pacing, your comfort sitting still and not fidgeting, no noises or ambient sounds… good professional quality production. Nice set too. When you and your draft expert talked, was your best work. Having an “open ended” top twenty questions to start an interview.
Continue growing your knowledge.
What about Anzalone now?
He's gonna be better than he was at Bama. Miss him already. Roll Tide
So tired of all the analysts. These two are great players. Super unique and skilled. This is who they wanted.
Gibbs is a bit quiet but that’s okay man. The guys highlights are insane. Total offensive weapon.
WE WON PHILLY BULLDAWGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jahmar Gibbs 200 5-9 are you kidding me? To let Detroit Fans know you build a great line THEN get the RB………cant believe you just past up a generational play maker for a RB in first round……. Swift was only 24
Jack Campbell……………MAN! Since the beginning, I knew he was going to come here and be the stalwart in the center of our defense for at least a decade! He will help us hold up at least one Superbowl Trophy.
I wonder why ( jack Campbell) said they don’t care abt his past … I thought that was a big part of drafting players 🤔
Jack Campbell is like a cross between Chris Spielman and Brian Urlacher.
I love our picks super excited for the season!
Sheila Ford is underrated she the one that changed everything
I'm super excited about Jack Campbell.
I think Jack Campbell might be the most humble human being on planet earth! So happy we got this guy!!!
Gibbs doesn’t seem like he wants to be here.
Let's bite some damn knee caps
I seen a comment about Gibbs saying uh a lot. Understanding how to interview doesn't fall in the same box as studying play books and reading defenses. He was drafted to play football not be a speech therapist
Jack Campbell seems like he is Detroit mindset through and through. Just a big cornfed tough midwestern kid. 50's style LB with 2020's tools.
In terms of character, cambell is another classy football player like hutchinson
I love the Detroit Lions.
1:30. "It was Mr. Holmes." F*** love that.
I don’t see a lombardy trophy in your coaches room
I don’t see any of your players wearing rings
And Amon ra saint brown is short
18:03 "Jack Gibbs"… I must have missed that player Lol
We can also have Montgomery and Gibbs on the field at the same time…. Dangerous
Deebo Samuel potential. So excited
I know some Iowans. They're all about midwestern values. This young man is the epitome of that. Great pick.
LIONS SAVED 11 MILLION BY MOVING FROM 6 TO 12 AND GOT ANOTHER PICK…. THEN THEY WISELY USED THAT 11 MILLION AND AQUIRED MORE OPPORTUNITY…. BRAD knows whats up
The lions committment to getting not only hard working great players who produced in college, but also down to earth, great people you want to root for is amazing. Gibbs and cambell both are just easy guys to root for and i love it. Ans im sure the rest of the picks are the same way
Time to fall in love with our draft picks. Lions are loaded.
Jack Campbells deep voice alone sold me ! Best LB in draft &&&&&& Gibbs is the BEST back drafted. ALABAMA > TEXAS
Are you sure..???!!!???…. that Dan and Jack aren't related???!!!! Lol. Just close your eyes and listen to him and imagine Dan 20 years younger. Lol
Jack Campbell sounds like the most down to earth draft pick I have ever heard.
Gibbs is a dangerous player! All the fans whining about this pick are going to absolutely love this dude. Theres not a spot on the field hes not a threat from. Get excited yall.
Gibbs don’t wanna be here lol
Jack Campbell is a very special, humble soul and is the only draft pick to wear a tie, which gives him a air of intelligence, respectfulness and integrity
Yeah it was weird seeing him getting drafted the video shows him like he didn’t want to go to Detroit and his family kept saying it’s fine it’s fine …. So I hope it grows to love Detroit because we are behind you Gibbs
Twentyman rubs
Go 🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁💙
I hope this guy is as good on the field as he seems as a person. Holy crap.
This Draft was for the Dynasty! We hit it hard on different groups! We are a playoff team before the Draft! After the Draft the Dynasty is set! Extend Goff let our future QB set and learn easy transition like Joe Montana to Steve Young! Facts!!!! Superbowl or Bust 2023 season! Yep! I said it! Let's Go! Boot Up! Go Lions!🦁🔥💪 Superbowl Champions! Facts!🙌
Jahmyr no nonsense dude not even entertaining the pleasantries like handshakes!?! 😳😏😅👍🏻
