    The Miami Dolphins’ offseason acquisition of 38-year-old defensive lineman Calais Campbell didn’t take long to pay off. In fact, it took as little time as possible.

    On the future Hall of Famer’s first ever regular season snap in an aqua jersey, he tracked down Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence for a huge 13-yard sack.

    Campbell didn’t stop there. He recorded a tackle for loss on the next play to drop the Jaguars into a third-and-long situation that they weren’t able to convert.

    The Dolphins signed Campbell in the offseason to a one-year, $2 million deal that he described as “the cheapest offer I had by a large margin.” But he took the discounted offer to go back to South Beach, nearly two decades after he spent his collegiate days with the Miami Hurricanes.

    After his first quarter sack Sunday against the Jaguars, Campbell now has 106.5 in his career. That ranks No. 31 since the stat started being officially recorded in 1982.
