The guy could have been another free agent signing that cost too much and returned little, but it's clear he wanted to prove his worth, and this defense is so much better because of his decision to come to Jacksonville. It has raised the bar for the entire defense to have him here, and particularly since he has completely bought into what Tom and Doug have been preaching about their vision for this team. He is the prime example of their vision in action.

During the offseason Calais Campbell said he chose the Jaguars instead of his hometown Broncos to be part of an upcoming playoff team - one that is on the cusp of ending a playoff drought. Interestingly, Robinson also said did not talk to anyone before signing the contract. It was a close call between Jacksonville and Denver. I am glad he chose Jacksonville and can see why the media labeled him the best UFA we added this year.

More recently, I read Campbell is a natural leader in the locker room and has a lead-by-example style, but teammates don't flock to him. I love this guy.
