Tommie Campbell

Tommie James Campbell (born September 19, 1987) is an American football cornerback for the Tennessee Titans of the National Football League. He was drafted by the Titans in the seventh round of the 2011 NFL Draft.

High School career
While attending Aliquippa High School, Campbell was a multi-sport star in football, basketball and track. He was the Pennsylvania state high school sprint champion in 2005.

College career
He went on to play college football at Pitt (2005–2006), Edinboro University (2007), and California (PA) (2010). Academic problems ended his playing career at Pitt and Edinboro, and he was working as a janitor at Pittsburgh International Airport from 2008 to 2009. Campbell was afforded a third chance to play college football by the California University of Pennsylvania. Campbell made good on the third opportunity. He appeared in all 12 games for California (Pa.). California coach John Luckhardt said that Campbell's life experiences had helped him mature and quipped, "One of the things he said was that cleaning toilets at 12 o'clock at night really got his attention." Campbell, in turn, has expressed his gratitude to Coach Luckhardt for giving him another chance: "Cal gave me another shot at pursuing my dream, which is to be a success in the NFL." Based on his comeback performance in 2010, Campbell was one of only eight Division II players to participate in the 2011 Eastham Energy All-Star Game in Arizona. He also participated in the Cactus Bowl (Division II All Star Game) in Texas. Campbell ran a 4.31 40-yard dash at the Cactus Bowl, ranking third among the 300-plus prospects at the event.

Tennessee Titans
He was selected by the Tennessee Titans in the seventh round of the 2011 NFL Draft.
