Is it the greatest introductory press conference ever? One fan believes it is, writing, "He will lead Detroit to a playoff win next year." The Lions haven't won a playoff game since 1991.

Imagine thinking you knocked Dan Campbell out only to look down and see him gnawing through your kneecaps

It's clear fighting Campbell is a bad idea. One fan wrote: "We need a Joe Judge vs Dan Campbell fight to see who's the bigger football guy." Unfortunately, the New York Giants will not face the Lions in 2021.

It looks like Campbell has a new nickname because of the press conference. And while Danimal makes sense, one person wrote: "Danimal is the name of a yogurt drink that my kids love."

Arthur Smith: We’re going to be accountable and adaptable. We’ll play to our players’ strengths.
Dan Campbell: WE’RE GONNA BITE THEIR KNEECAPS OFF

Campbell's press conference was a lot different from the introductory press conference of Atlanta Falcons coach Arthur Smith. One Falcons fan wrote: "Until I've tasted a kneecap, I'm not gonna judge."

Just played the Dan Campbell press conference soundbite for my wife. Her first response: "I didn't know people had that many kneecaps."

It's clear Campbell wants the Lions to be the toughest team in the league. One Twitter user wrote: "I don't know Dan Campbell, but just reading the excerpt of dialogue, that felt like a Rex introduction press conference. I wish Detroit well, they have been on the mat for a long time, but I worry that maybe his personality might wear thin within 2 seasons and he's gone."

Dan Campbell is talking about taking opposing teams’ kneecaps.
I feel like someone should say, “Sir, this is a Wendy’s.”

It's also clear fans are having a lot of fun with the quote. One person wrote: "Lions fans are repeatedly commenting 'KNEE CAP DAN' on the YouTube stream and I find that hilarious."
