Cam Heyward gives thoughts on De’Vondre Campbell quitting on 49ers
The 49ers linebacker refused to go into the game against the Rams and was released.
It’s a rare thing to see a player simply refuse to go into a game – or at least it used to be. We’ve seen this type of thing multiple times this season. Diontae Johnson refused to go into a game for the Ravens when they were playing the Philadelphia Eagles, and 49ers linebacker De’Vondre Campbell did the same against the Los Angeles Rams.
In the latest episode of Not Just Football, Cam Heyward gave his thoughts on the Campbell situation in the Bay Area.
“To know about the Dre Greenlaw part of it – that’s heartbreaking,” Heyward said. “A guy who got hurt in the Super Bowl and busted his tail to get back, only to be hurt in that game and not have a guy willing to step in for him again…”
Heyward continued.
“One thing I will say – you don’t know what’s going on in a player’s life. There are a million things going on. Taking care of your family. You hope everything is good with that. You hope everything is good with yourself, as well, because this game is daunting and tasking. I hope it’s not because he wasn’t starting this game [and] he felt some type of way… the team needed him in that moment and he wasn’t willing to go in.”
