Proactive Lions First-Round Pick Starts Studying To Get Real Estate License

Miles Campbell grew up dreaming of playing in the NFL.

 

Now, after the Detroit Lions selected him with their first-round pick, the college stalwart continues to look ahead to his future by studying to obtain his real estate license.

 

“I feel like I can read the market better than most, but I know at the end of the day, I have to put in the work if I want to be in the conversation for RE/MAX’s rookie salesperson of the year,” Campbell said, adding that he plans to use his signing bonus to pay for all the administrative fees in securing his Michigan real estate license. “It was a dream come true getting the opportunity to play in the NFL. I’m excited to get started on the next chapter.”

 

“There are no guarantees in this league, and I like the stability the housing market offers in comparison,” Campbell said. “Yeah–I know the entire housing market crashed in 2008, but Real Estate has only crashed once. As a Lion, it’s not if the NFC North bottom-feeder crashes, it’s when and how many times in one season.”

 

Matt Stafford as asked to comment, “Regardless of the athlete’s skill, the Lions will fuck up his career. I had to beg for a trade, and upon leaving Detroit I instantly won a Super Bowl. Coincidence? I think not. In fact, should I have been there one year longer I would have launched his new Stafford Real Estate!”
