I never heard anything about this when he was a Bear. His mother was killed by his dad when he was a youngster.

Sports, family helped Carolina Panthers rookie D.J. Campbell deal with mother's killing

"How would you describe DJ in 3 words?"(hint, humble not on the list)...

Good 2 minute interview.

Boy there are so many names and characters in his story its hard to keep them straight ... but good to see DJ make it to his dreams

Man, what a tough story. Always liked DJ.

A very good read, thanks for posting... rooting for you D.J.

I'm glad Ron Rivera is his pro HC. What a great story ....

Other Bears who made their way through real tragedies. Bobby Shaw, whose father was murdered and Leon Powe, whose house burned down and was living in a car with his mom, if I remember accurately. It's just wonderful when these guys prosper through such tragic events.
