With a crucial voting deadline coming up on the new proposed Collective Bargaining Agreement for the NFL Players Association, the group made an announcement on the 11 players who will serve on their Executive Committee Tuesday. Jacksonville Jaguars defensive lineman Calais Campbell was amongst them, with other notables like Richard Sherman, Malcolm Jenkins, and Alex Mack also being named to the group.
With 12 years of experience to his name and plenty of accolades on and off the field from All-Pro nominations to being named Walter Payton Man of the Year in 2019, Campbell is a perfect player for the committee. In fact, last month he was one of many veterans who took to social media to tell the players to make an informed decision.
Campbell signed with the Jags in 2017 and has made his impact felt in the Jacksonville community and on the field, accumulating 195 total tackles, 31.5 sacks, and three Pro Bowl nods during his three-year tenure with the team. He’s also held various events for the people in Jacksonville like his Christmas with Calais holiday spree and more.
As for the new CBA getting done, the NFLPA’s deadline is set for Saturday, March 14 at 11:59 p.m. EST after it was initially set for this Thursday. To have it passed, the players need a 50%-plus-1 approval rate to progress forward.
