Go Gophers!!
I had no idea he was still playing football. I always thought he could fill some kind of specialist role because he was big, athletic, and brutally effective at the goal line.

Maybe they have Taysom Hill type ideas for him.
 

Something tells me Campbell is going to have a hard time getting signed moving forward...

With the tush push legal, I don't know why teams don't fill the position specifically, like they do long snapper. It's an important role. Seth could fill it. I know there are roster limits but no team would turn down an automatic first down on fourth and one.
