| THE LIONS GET A STANDING O FOR THEIR 7TH ROUND PICK
Granted, other teams are usually pretty happy with Matt Millen's draft picks, but this time, it's for a good reason. Lions save the day for final pick of Army safety Campbell - Detroit Lions: News, Blogs, Photos, Audio, Schedule & Stats - MLive.com Quote: |
But the biggest applause was for Campbell. ESPN reported all day on Campbell because the 6-foot-2, 230 pounder would be spared having to serve in Iraq if he made a NFL roster. Halfway through the final round, he got the call from the Lions. The entire draft crowd erupted, jerseys from every NFL team represented.

When the Lions selected Army safety Caleb Campbell in the seventh round Sunday, the crowd at Radio City Music City Hall erupted into a "U-S-A" chant.

For all the criticism that Millen has taken, he should be praised for this pick.
