What Dan Campbell said when he found out there’s a ‘Dan Campbell lookalike contest’

‘I don’t know why you’d waste your time with that,' Campbell says

Detroit Lions head Coach Dan Campbell found out this week that fans are holding a “Dan Campbell lookalike contest.”

He was asked about it during his Tuesday press conference, and he couldn’t help but smile and shake his head.

“I don’t know why you’d waste your time with that,” Campbell said. “There’s got to be better things to do, unless the prize is something worth having. Is there a legitimate prize to it? Maybe I’ll get in it.”

Fans are putting together the contest because there’s no Lions football this weekend. The Lions host the Packers on Thursday night at Ford Field.

This is just the latest show of appreciation from the fan base to a coach who has led their team to an 11-1 start. The Lions haven’t lost a game since Sept. 15 and currently own the No. 1 seed in the NFC.

After coming inches from a Super Bowl appearance last season, the Lions are on a mission to make it this year for the first time in franchise history.
