Baltimore Ravens defensive lineman Calais Campbell said on June 9 that he has played as long as he has purely for the love of the game.

Campbell signed with the Ravens for his 19th season; he turns 40 on Sep. 1. At a press conference at Ravens OTAs, he said he knows at some point it will be time to hang up his cleats. While he has been saying it for several years now, he admitted that this season is probably his last.
