The Detroit Lions’ best decision in franchise history was the hiring of head coach Dan Campbell. Since Campbell’s arrival in 2021, the Lions have quickly become one of the top teams in the NFL.
There are many reasons as to why Campbell’s tenure with the Lions has been a success. But the biggest reason behind the success may be his energy.

The Lions had long been a franchise left for dead before Campbell’s arrival. However, he has brought the right energy that has rallied the city behind the team once again.

Another asset of Campbell is his personality. The former tight end has never shied away from saying how he feels about a situation. However, on Friday, Campbell may have shared too much with the media.

When talking about Halloween, the Lions’ head coach revealed that he once dressed as Marilyn Monroe for the holiday. Well, it didn’t take long for Campbell’s wife, Holly Campbell, to get those photos up on social media.
The photos are everything you could want and more. Nothing like a six-foot-five, 265 lbs tight end showing off his legs with a blonde wig.

I’m starting to believe that Campbell is thinking he should have kept that a secret from the media.
Not The Only Lion In The Spooky Spirit
Campbell isn’t the only member of the Lions in the Halloween mood. Running back Jahmyr Gibbs has had a few costume changes this week, but his Avatar costume with girlfriend Nicole Anderson is top-notch.

If we’re judging NFL teams solely on how they’ve dressed for Halloween, then Campbell and Gibbs are giving the Lions the top ranking.

We need more folks to get into the spooky spirit like this. My costume this year is a sports blogger who doesn’t go out in public. But will eat all the candy.
