Scouting Report: Strengths
- Shows a burst to close. Flashes explosive hitting ability and good lateral and downfield pursuit.
- Campbell has good quickness and an excellent understanding of angles, often beating blockers to the spot.
- A bit stiff but makes the clean open-field tackle. Good effort in pursuit.
- He has ability as a blitzer, with the length and flexibility to get around the edge.
- Campbell takes proper angles and shows impressive closing speed. He’s also outstanding in space and is one of the best coverage guys in this class.
- He’s rangy and instinctive when he’s looking into the backfield as a zone defender.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- He’s a grab-and-drag tackler and needs to be covered up by his defensive line in order to move freely against the run; he’s cooked if Campbell runs into blockers at the second level.
- Doesn’t play with a physical edge. Campbell too often wants to run around the edge, and he has trouble disengaging when an offensive lineman can get into his frame.
- He’s not a guy who can be put on the edge every down and be expected to consistently create pressure.
