he Washington Redskins announced today they have signed linebacker Khary Campbell. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.

September 2002.

Campbell entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent with the Dallas Cowboys in 2002.

Campbell finished his collegiate career at Bowling Green with 299 tackles, two interceptions, 10 forced fumbles and five fumble recoveries. He led his team in tackles both his junior and senior seasons, and was a second team all-MAC selection as a senior.
