commitment profile Film Evaluation Strengths: Campbell glides across the football field with speed that seems to be effortless. He is so fast that he outruns his quarterback's arm on some plays. At 6-4 and nearly 200 pounds, Campbell is still in the early stages of his physical development. He shows a good feel for creating space from the defender in his routes. He adjusts his body well for the reception and has an impressive vertical catching ability. Campbell shows post-catch savvy by getting his eyes turned up field quickly and taking the yards that are there instead of getting fancy with too many juke moves. Areas Of Improvement: It would be nice to see some clips that show how well Campbell blocks. Can he leverage his size and strength to be an effective blocker on the edge of the offense? There should be no doubt that he can, and his strength development will directly impact how well he preforms. As Campbell gets stronger, his ability to be more physical during his routes and after the catch will get even better. Michigan Player Comparison: Anthony Carter helped turn the No. 1 jersey into a wide receiver's goal at Michigan from 1979-82, and he redefined wide receiver speed and the ability to make the big play with his hands and balance. Campbell has similar speed, but with a larger frame. — Analysis by former U-M offensive lineman Doug Skene
