Draft Profile: Bio
DJ Campbell, a 6'3", 343-pound road grader out of Texas, dominated the high school trenches in Arlington. Five-star blue-chip recruit across the board, Campbell topped guard prospect rankings nationally. Under Armour All-American and MaxPreps All-America First Team selection.At Texas, Campbell quickly cemented his spot. After spot duty as a freshman, he locked down the right guard position for all 14 games in his sophomore campaign. Joe Moore Award semifinalist, Campbell anchored a line that sprung a 1,000-yard rusher and fueled multiple 500+ yard offensive explosions against ranked competition.
Campbell's nastiness shone brightest in the trenches against Alabama (454 total yards) and in a ground-and-pound clinic versus Texas Tech (302 rushing yards). Integral cog in Texas' Big 12 Championship victory, where QB Ewers shredded defenses for 452 yards and 4 TDs through the air.
Scouting Report: Strengths
- Mammoth frame with elite mass for interior play, overwhelming defenders at the point of attack
- Mauler in the run game, consistently creating vertical displacement and driving defenders off their spot
- Stout pass pro anchor, leveraging length and girth to stonewall bull rushers effectively
- Scheme versatile, shows proficiency in both gap and zone concepts, translating to multiple NFL systems
- High football acumen, consistently ID'ing and picking up stunts and delayed blitzes in pass pro
- Iron man durability, started every contest sophomore year with clean injury slate
- Blue-chip pedigree, lived up to five-star billing with consistent growth curve in college
- Big game baller, elevates performance against top-tier competition and in high-stakes situations
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Heavy-footed in space, limiting effectiveness on pulls, traps, and screen game
- Raw pass pro technique, over-relying on mass rather than refined hand placement and kick-slide
- Susceptible to quick-twitch 3-techs who can exploit limited lateral agility
- Inconsistent play-to-whistle mentality in run game, needs to improve finishing blocks
- One-year wonder status raises questions about overall development trajectory and NFL readiness
Scouting Report: Summary
Campbell profiles as a day-two prospect with starting guard upside. Scheme fit favors power-run offenses where he can maximize his people-moving ability. Pass pro flashes potential but requires significant technical refinement to handle NFL-caliber interior rush.Immediate impact likely comes in the ground game while pass protection skills develop. Scheme versatility adds value, fitting both gap and zone concepts. Decision-makers must weigh mauler potential against clear areas for improvement, particularly lateral mobility and technique polish.
Track record against top-tier competition and physical tools point to starting-caliber ceiling. Development arc suggests potential long-term interior line solution for a team willing to invest in his growth and leverage his run-blocking prowess.
