The third-year wide receiver turned heads with good performances as the team opened training camp, but also struggled with an apparent illness as he vomited several times at the team’s early morning practice on July 25.

After the practice, Campbell offered a tongue-in-cheek response to the practice mishap.

The speedy former Alabama receiver then missed the first four games of his second season after being hit with an NFL suspension for gambling. Williams had a slow start in returning, but came on late in the season.
