Campbell’s elite quickness and ability to create with the ball in his hands was often on display. He got a lot of touches in the screen game and on reverses. This is someone who is a real threat to score every time he touches the ball.

There really isn’t a major hole in his game that jumps out. He is an excellent athlete with the speed and burst to stretch the field. His fluid movement helps him run clean routes. Campbell has some size to win in contested situations.

The biggest thing for him is to continue developing as a route runner and add some bulk to his frame. Staying healthy will also be a key to his overall draft stock.
