The head coach highlighted the defensive player's consistency and instinctual style during practice and games.
"He's smart and he's instinctive and he is snap to whistle all out, all the time. In practice, too.
And he doesn't take plays off, he doesn't take days off. He goes after the football, he's a ball guy, so he's invaluable," said Dan Campbell, Head Coach.

"And I don't hesitate when I say that. This is Jack Campbell's defense and everybody in that locker room knows it, point blank, period.
It all goes through Jack," said Kelvin Sheppard, Defensive Coordinator.
