Baltimore Ravens defensive end Calais Campbell has long-been a dominant force over the course of his NFL career. However, he has his sights on a new career after his football playing days are over, and with it remains the same goal of winning championships.
In an article written by Jamison Hensley of ESPN, Campbell detailed that he has a goal of winning the World Series of Poker. The veteran defensive lineman detailed the thrill of playing poker, even talking about how some aspects of football relate to what happens when playing at the table.
“It’s a thrill when you’re out there competing and you’re in the hand and you try to get good reads on people…I feel like with football, I’ve been very good at seeing things before they happen. It allows me to really spot my keys and give me information and allow me to process it. In poker, it’s the same thing.”
