Calais Campbell, a seasoned NFL veteran, recently made the decision to join the Miami Dolphins for the upcoming season. Despite being one of the few active players from the 2008 NFL Draft, Campbell believes he still has what it takes to compete at a high level in the league.
After a successful 2023 season with the Atlanta Falcons, Campbell considered retirement but ultimately decided to continue playing due to his love for the game and desire to compete. He believes he still has the physical ability and passion to contribute on the football field, even as he approaches his 38th birthday.
Joining the Dolphins, a playoff-caliber team with a talented roster, provided Campbell with the opportunity to chase a Super Bowl ring. He has never won a championship but is eager to work with the team’s impressive lineup of Pro Bowlers and new additions to make a strong push in the postseason.
One of the key factors in Campbell’s decision to sign with Miami was the chance to reunite with defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver, who coached Campbell during his time with the Baltimore Ravens. Campbell values Weaver’s coaching style and believes in his ability to bring out the best in players, including himself.
Looking ahead to his 17th NFL season, Campbell is optimistic about the Dolphins’ potential and the opportunity to make a deep playoff run. With a strong defense and talented teammates, he is confident that Miami has the ingredients for a successful season and hopes to end his career on a high note by competing for a Super Bowl title.
