Scouting Report: Strengths
- Battle-tested with 1,890 collegiate snaps, showcasing durability and consistent improvement trajectory
- Positional flexibility to play both tackle spots and kick inside, enhancing his value as a potential swing lineman
- Solid anchor in pass pro, rarely surrendering the edge and maintaining a clean pocket
- Quick study who seamlessly integrated into Tennessee's up-tempo offense after transferring
- High football IQ with the ability to recognize and pick up stunts and blitzes effectively
- Nasty finisher in the run game, driving defenders off the ball and playing through the whistle
- Technician who uses his hands well to control defenders and maintain leverage
- Blue-collar mentality with a team-first approach, willingly adapting to new roles for the betterment of the unit
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Lacks elite athletic traits, potentially limiting his ceiling against top-tier edge rushers at the next level
- Slightly undersized for an NFL tackle, may struggle with length against longer defenders
- Can get overextended in his pass sets, leaving him vulnerable to inside counter moves
- Medical red flags with a significant leg injury that sidelined him for an entire season
- Limited experience on the right side heading into the draft, creating a steeper learning curve for RT transitions
Scouting Report: Summary
Campbell Jr.'s skill set aligns with zone-blocking schemes and up-tempo offenses. His quick feet and spatial awareness, honed in Tennessee's system, suit these schemes well. However, his below-average athleticism for the position may limit his effectiveness in pure man-blocking concepts.His transition to right tackle is pivotal. A strong showing could elevate his draft stock, potentially pushing him into early Day 3 consideration. Conversely, struggles could relegate him to late-round status.
Campbell Jr.'s overall profile suggests a ceiling as a spot starter with swing tackle value. His pass protection skills outpace his run blocking, indicating he may be best suited for pass-heavy offenses.
