-- Lions Move Caleb Campbell to OLB --

Mon Jun 16, 2008 --from FFMastermind.com
Mlive reports Detroit Lions seventh round draft pick SS Caleb Campbell (6-2, 230) has been moved to outside linebacker. The Lions currently have a logjam at safety and Campbell has a better shot of making the 53-man roster at linebacker. While he clearly has the toughness and tackling ability to be effective, the target on his chest has changed. The position change means that Campbell will have to deal more often with offensive linemen instead of just tight ends and running backs. In the passing game, though, Campbell shouldn't have too much difficulty in making the transition. He understands zones and it won't take him long to learn the concept of the defense which puts an emphasis on breaking on your keys, not the ball. If he doesn't make the final roster, Campbell is a top candidate for the practice squad because he has a lot of upside and, during practice, he has the versatility to play a lot of different positions.

I think he will make the 53 man roster.
