Caleb Campbell -- No longer allowed to play.

I bet a bunch of you that watched the draft remember this guy. He's the guy from the Army Academy that was drafted by the Lions and allowed to pursue his NFL career. One day before training camp, the Army pulled the rug out from under him and told him he had to report to active duty. Caleb Campbell even checked on this one week ago to make sure everything was good to go.

In my opinion, this is a bad move by the Army. Had you told him from day 1 that he has to serve -- I'm fine with that. But certainly don't wait till a day before training camp. That's just mean.

Campbell is handling it with a lot of class though. Here's a link.
