Old Tweets Of De’Vondre Campbell Have Been Unearthed And They Reveal He’s Been Planning To “Quit” Long Before He Walked Out On His 49ers During TNF
De’Vondre Campbell’s behavior single-handedly made an already tough night for the San Francisco 49ers even worse.
In a rain-soaked stadium, the team went out on Thursday night, barely hanging on in the playoff race, and desperately needed a win against the Los Angeles Rams to stay afloat.
In the second half of a tight game, linebacker De’Vondre Campbell decided he would no longer play.
49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan told media after the game that the nine-year veteran, who had started 12 of 13 games this season before Thursday night, told the team he didn’t want to play and promptly left the field.
Campbell went to the locker room in the second half.
“He said he didn’t want to play today,” Shanahan said.
It seems the behavior of De’Vondre Campbell could’ve been predicted just based on his social media behavior.
Campbell played football for the Minnesota Golden Gophers in 2013 and was having doubts about his future career.
He was digging how he looked and thought he should quit football altogether.
In 2013, resurfaced tweets show that De’Vondre Campbell was seriously thinking of quitting football to become an underwear model.
