A Candid Conversation with Yannick Ngakoue and Calais Campbell
Yannick Ngakoue: Calais! Man, it feels like it’s been forever since we shared the field. What’s good, big fella?
Calais Campbell: Yannick, my guy! It’s always good to hear from you. How’s everything going with you? Still terrorizing quarterbacks, I bet.
Yannick Ngakoue: You know it. Quarterbacks might as well have my name on their hit list by now. Speaking of terrorizing QBs, remember that game against Pittsburgh? We were unstoppable.
Calais Campbell: Oh, for sure! That game was legendary. I think Big Ben still has nightmares of us to this day. So, what are you focusing on this season?
Yannick Ngakoue: Man, it’s all about refining the craft, you know? I’ve been working on my hands and footwork. Trying to come at those linemen with new moves, keep ’em on their toes. How about you? Any words of wisdom for your old teammate?
Calais Campbell: Keep grinding, bro. You’re already a beast. Just stay focused and keep that hunger. Oh, and always remember to have fun out there. That’s what it’s all about.
Yannick Ngakoue: Absolutely. Speaking of fun, you catch that last UFC fight? Those guys go at it like it’s the end of the world. Reminds me of our training camp battles.
Calais Campbell: Ha! Yeah, those camps were no joke. But hey, all those tough moments made us better, right? And yeah, UFC fighters are something else. It’s all about that warrior mindset.
Yannick Ngakoue: Definitely. It’s that same mindset that keeps me pushing, on and off the field. By the way, how’s life outside football treating you? Any new ventures?
Calais Campbell: Been focusing a lot on community work, man. Giving back is huge for me. Plus, dabbling a bit with media stuff. You should hop on one of my podcasts sometime!
Yannick Ngakoue: Count me in! Would be dope to chop it up with you on air. Let the fans in on our stories. Any parting motivational words for the rookies trying to make a name for themselves?
Calais Campbell: Keep your head down and work. Listen more than you talk. Respect the game and it will respect you back. And never, ever stop believing in yourself.
Yannick Ngakoue: Preach! Alright, big bro, let’s catch up more often. Stay blessed and keep inspiring. The league needs more people like you.
Calais Campbell: Appreciate you, Yannick. You too, man. Keep that fire burning and see you at the top!
