Weight: 323 lbs
Draft Projection: Mid 1st
Notable Accomplishment: 2023 Joe Moore Award Finalist

Pros: Campbell is a three-year starter who provides excellent experience and an NFL readiness that exceeds the maturity of almost every lineman in this draft class. His strong core and lower body give him the upper hand one-on-one, as he is incredibly difficult to bull rush. What I love most about Campbell is that he plays through the whistle. He gets pleasure in finishing blocks, and he does better than just about any tackle in the country in one-on-one situations on running downs, eliminating the defender from the play entirely. I believe Campbell can play in either man or zone blocking concepts at the next level, but his ability in man/gap/power blocking is severely underrated. He is also a true leader who understands the game of football as good as anyone, and he understand his role and positional importance to the team’s success.

Cons: There were several games this season where Campbell got beat around the edge by speed, which makes me concerned about his overall athleticism. Can he contain the most athletic pass rushers in the NFL? I believe that is a bigger concern now than it was a year ago, and if I am being honest, I think we saw regression in Campbell’s game from the 2023 season. He did not seem to have those struggles just a year ago, which is why I am interested to see what his athletic testing numbers are at the combine. When Campbell thinks he might get beat by speed around the edge, he will overcompensate and give the defender a track on the inside shoulder. While most technical issues are not a problem with Campbell, dealing with speed on the edge is definitely an area Campbell must improve in.

Overview: Campbell may have limitations at tackle, especially if his arms do not measure in at ideal length during the combine. While some people project Campbell to move inside to guard, I am afraid the dire need for competent blindside blockers in the NFL may force him to play outside, even though his upside is significantly higher at guard.
