Campbell returns to the Arizona Cardinals to finish his NFL career, and on Sunday he did something that no player his age has ever done.
ESPN’s Josh Weinfuss shared this feat: Blocking a field goal and scoring an extra point in the same season.
Campbell was by far the oldest at 39 years and 111 days.
The previous record holder was Denico Autry at 33 years and 149 days old.
Standing 6-foot-8, Campbell has always been a strong tackler, and even now, he still is.
He also has 5.5 sacks this season, which is pretty impressive.

After starting his career as a starter with the Cardinals, he has traveled around the NFL in recent years.
But this season, Campbell chose to return to the desert, his longtime home.
It’s unclear whether Campbell will need to retire after this season. He remains strong.
But every time Campbell hangs up his cleats, he’ll be one of the best to ever play the game.
