In 1985, the Packers traded Campbell to the Los Angeles Raiders, where he never played a game. He has since become a newspaper columnist at Scripps Treasure Coast Newspapers.[1]

After Campbell's career ended, the Packers did not draft another quarterback in the first round until 2005, when Aaron Rodgers, also from the University of California, became a Packer.
