Former California (Pa.) and Pitt cornerback Tommy Campbell's journey to the NFL in the seventh round to the Tennessee Titans was an unusual route. He used to be a janitor at the Pittsburgh airport after squandering opportunities at Pitt and Edinboro before thriving at his final college. “I left Pittsburgh and Edinboro and ended up at Cal after I was working at the airport as a janitor," Campbell said, per TitanInsider. "I worked at the airport as a janitor for about six months. I didn't expect to play football ever again at one point, and I got a call from Cal, and I went up there and did everything they asked me to do.†Campbell caught the attention of Titans vice president of player personnel Ruston Webster at the Cactus Bowl. It didn't hurt that the big corner back T runs the 40-yard dash in 4.31 and 4.33 seconds. “He is well-traveled," Webster said. "Really what we saw in him was he was 6-2, 203 and he ran a 4.3 down at the all-star game. He was somebody that had some ability, and when you get here so late in the seventh, corners with that kind of size and speed, they're hard to find. "And usually when you try to sign them as free agents, when that opportunity came, we felt like that would be hard to do. Without any free agency, and that type of thing, it was the time to take a flier.†Source: National Football Post
I didn't think he was draftable.....but with his height and speed combination......it's worth a chance in the seventh.
