Campbell, 27, led the Falcons’ defense in tackles last season with 129 to go along with two sacks, six tackles for loss, two interceptions and three forced fumbles. He was a fourth round pick by the Falcons in the 2016 NFL Draft after playing his college football at the University of Minnesota.
In four seasons with the Atlanta Falcons, Campbell started 54 games, recording 363 tackles, 5.5 sacks, five forced fumbles and three interceptions. He was a leader inside of the Atlanta locker room and anchored the Falcons’ defense along with fellow linebacker Deion Jones. Campbell and Jones each had five passes defended last season, which tied for the most among Atlanta’s linebackers.
