By WILL BARDENWERPER Published: July 29, 2008 WASHINGTON — Caleb Campbell, a member of West Point’s class of 2008 and a seventh-round draft pick of the Detroit Lions, woke up one day last week expecting to sign a $295,000 contract that afternoon. He was anticipating the team’s season opener in September against the Atlanta Falcons. Campbell still expects to be on the sideline this September, but it will not be as an N.F.L. player. Instead, he has been ordered to return to West Point as a second lieutenant assigned to assistant coaching duties for Army.
