Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell famously played and coached under Sean Payton with the New Orleans Saints, parlaying that experience into his first full-time head coaching job with the Detroit Lions, with whom he's emerged as one of the NFL's best—and most fiery—coaches. Payton isn't the only coaching legend who saw something special in Campbell, however. From 2003 to '06, the physical tight end played for Bill Parcells with the Dallas Cowboys. According to former Cowboys assistant Todd Haley, he was something of an enforcer for the Hall of Famer.
Appearing on This Is Football with Kevin Clark, Haley shared a pretty perfect Campbell story. Ahead of a game with the rival New York Giants, Parcells was not happy with the team's effort during a midweek practice, so he called over Campbell. The rest, according to Haley, is priceless.
