Lambert's playing weight was closer to 220. Go back and look at the footage and he was downright skinny compared to modern MLB's. IIRC, Mike Webster, their center, only weighed about 265. Different era.You beat me to it. Lambert also played in Black and Gold for the NFL champs Pittsburgh Stealers. He was 6-4/5 around 240/245. Campbell 6-4/5 around 245. Lambert ran 4.7 40. Don't know Jacks 40, but he looks plenty fast. Nice comp. 😎❤️
I saw him play a couple of times against the #1 IC West team (lost to dowling in the championship sadly) in '17, and the guy was the best player on the field on either side of the ball on either team.Friend of mine who just retired as the head coach at Ames after many years said Campbell is the best high school player he’s ever coached against.
Chad had a great, long NFL career.
Check this out & Watch:
He plainly states he's not "Chad Greenway." It would have been nice to at least add "not yet, anyway."

Campbell has better instincts ... but he's not nearly as fast as Greenway.I think Campbell is better...
For the record ... all three of Iowa's top LBs were productive today. I'm happy we have each and every one of 'em!
some of the Hayden great o-lines averaged 180-90s and was considered almost NFL size. Back then, Iowa and MSu were putting big lines on the fieldHeard Lambert interviewed on SIRIUS NFL a few years ago. He said he came in as a rookie around 210 and finished the year around 190. He joked that his weight was never truthfully listed on the Steelers roster. Also said his mid season most years was around 200 and he got bigger the last couple of seasons, up to around 215 and he blamed that on old age.
Shocking how much bigger the players have become since my childhood.
i dont think there is any questionI think he leaves IC as KF's best LB if he stays healthy, and has a solid DL.
Pretty impressive if it happens.
I think Benson had 11 tackles. He is a tackling machine. Jacobs was told cover #85 and he did a pretty good job. Campbell did the rest. Phil knows he needs Belton and Jacobs both on the field.For the record ... all three of Iowa's top LBs were productive today. I'm happy we have each and every one of 'em!

As of today, I think your spot on. At worst a coin toss.I think Campbell is better...
Also, if he would have played instead of Doyle against Wisconsin 2019.Remember when Iowa lost 2 games at the beginning of the year last year? Guess who didn’t play in either game because he had mono. If he was healthy he might’ve been the difference in those close losses.
His grandkids grandkids should be well set up when he retires in 15 years.
