Sometimes you hear a player talk and you just *get it*, right? It’s like they were born for the game, for their position. That’s exactly how it feels listening to Detroit Lions All-Pro linebacker Jack Campbell. This dude is special, from his physical game to how he’s wired mentally. While we’re talking about big wins and standout players, our Seahawks started the week with a huge W, taking down the New England Patriots 13-10 in a nail-biter! That’s how you kick off the regular season, Emerald City!
The Critics Are Eating Crow on Campbell
Jack Campbell earned All-Pro honors in 2025, and it’s no surprise if you’ve been watching him. Lions defensive tackle Alim McNeill isn’t holding back, saying Campbell is already “doing Hall of Fame stuff now” and is “on his way there.” This is wild when you remember back to 2023. Campbell was the 18th overall pick in that draft, and honestly, a lot of us, myself included, scratched our heads at that decision. People were talking “positional value” and hitting that “F” for the pick, but sometimes it feels really good to be so wrong! Campbell definitely remembers what everyone said, and he’s been proving them wrong ever since. He’s established himself as one of the defensive leaders, and Lions coach Dan Campbell said it best, “Anything that Jack says, people listen. He’s earned that.” This guy is truly built to be an off-ball linebacker in the NFL.
Other Lions Chasing Their Own Shine
It’s not just Campbell making noise in Detroit. All-Pro left tackle Penei Sewell made a position change look easy, which is a testament to his talent. Then there’s quarterback Jared Goff. He’s answered his critics, but the biggest challenge still looms. Amon-Ra St. Brown laid it out, saying that for Goff to get the respect he’s due, they just need to “win the Super Bowl.” St. Brown wants that for him “so bad,” believing it’ll “shut a lot of people up.” Goff has been in the league a long time, and you can tell by who he remembers as his veterans. On the other side of the ball, left guard Christian Mahogany is battling for a starting job and isn’t afraid to talk about what he needs to clean up to earn and keep it.
So, while the Lions have some serious talent making waves, for us, it’s all about that big 13-10 win for our Seahawks against the Patriots. It’s early in the season, but every victory counts. Let’s keep that momentum rolling, 12s!
