This Veterans Day, as America marks its 250th anniversary, the National Football Foundation honors the millions of Americans who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces. Long before he chaired the NFF’s National Advisory Board, General Douglas MacArthur managed the @ArmyWP_Football team as a West Point cadet. When he returned as superintendent, he championed athletics as a way to prepare cadets to lead. Today, college football’s national champion receives the NFF MacArthur Bowl, which bears his name. To all who have worn our nation’s uniform, thank you for your service.

On behalf of the National Football Foundation, we are sending Jack Campbell our thoughts and strongest prayers for a full and steady recovery. The very traits that drove him on the field and in the classroom as the 2022 Campbell Trophy recipient will carry him through these challenging times. Please know that your entire NFF family is proudly rooting for you every step of the way.
STATEMENT FROM JACK CAMPBELL My family and I want to sincerely thank everyone for the overwhelming amount of love, prayers, and support we’ve received over the past few days. It means more to us than words can express. I’m incredibly encouraged by the progress I’ve made in such a short period of time. I have full movement in my lower body, and I’m continuing to make progress with movement in my upper body. I know there’s still work ahead, but I remain very optimistic. I’m taking things one day at a time, staying positive, and focusing on getting better. My faith in God has never been stronger. I know He has a plan for me, and I trust in that plan. I know there may be challenges ahead, but with my faith, my family, and so many people in my corner, I know we’ll get through this. I especially want to thank the athletic trainers and medical personnel who responded and cared for me on the field. I know those were difficult moments, and I’m incredibly grateful for the professionalism, compassion, and care you showed me. The way you handled everything and looked after me when I needed it most is something I’ll never forget. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. I also can’t say enough about the incredible care I’ve received from the medical team at Henry Ford Hospital and the Detroit Lions medical staff. They’ve been amazing to me and my family throughout this process, and I’m truly grateful for everything they’ve done. To my teammates, coaches, and everyone in the Lions organization, I want you to know how much I love and appreciate you. This team is a family to me, and the way everyone has been there for me means everything. I’m proud to be a Detroit Lion and couldn’t ask to be surrounded by a better group of people. One thing I’ve learned about Detroit is that this city is built on toughness, resilience, and grit. That’s exactly how I’m going to approach this challenge. Please continue to keep me and my family in your prayers. We feel the love, and I can’t thank everyone enough. God is good. My faith is strong. Jack Campbell
