Baltimore Ravens defensive end Calais Campbell.
Baltimore Ravens defensive end Calais Campbell has played 14 years in the NFL since being selected in the second round of the 2008 draft by the Arizona Cardinals.
On Friday, appearing on NFL Network, the six-time Pro Bowler hinted that the 2022 season might be his last.
"I know I got this year in me. I don't know if there's anything left after that," Campbell said. "But I'm going to leave it all on the field and empty the tank. I'm preparing like this is my last year. I'm going to give it everything I have."
