The video went viral quickly which led to playful banter among fans, with some suggesting that the Lions should consider signing Meyer for her remarkable tackling potential and that the team drafted the wrong person in the relationship.
I think the wrong one got drafted in the 1st round. https://t.co/QdNWnDdhXR

While the playful online discussions took center stage, Campbell himself remains focused on his rookie journey in the NFL. As Detroit’s first-round draft pick in 2023, Campbell aims to earn a starting position in the defensive lineup.
Despite the speculation surrounding his role, Campbell has received the full support of linebackers coach Kelvin Sheppard, who emphasized the team’s commitment to fielding the best players. During a press conference, Sheppard made it clear that performance and merit would determine the starting lineup.
As fans eagerly await the upcoming NFL season, they are left wondering whether Campbell’s fiancé will become a frequent sight at Lions games, cheering him on from the stands.
