PLAYSTYLE & SCHEME FIT
Campbell is an explosive, versatile linebacker with true three-down ability and positional flexibility. His range, pass-rushing upside, and ability to cover backs and tight ends make him one of the most intriguing linebacker prospects in this draft. While he has elite athletic traits, he must improve his block-shedding, run-fit discipline, and overall play recognition to reach his full potential. Campbell fits best as a hybrid off-ball linebacker in a 3-4 defense or as a WILL in a 4-3 system where he can maximize his athleticism, coverage ability, and pass-rushing traits without being consistently asked to take on blocks inside.
CEILING GRADE ANALYSIS
High-End Starter Potential (65-69)
A player expected to become a top-tier starter within their first few years. They possess strong physical tools and good technical skills but may have some limitations in their game. With development, they can reach near-elite levels and provide consistent impact at their position.
