Special teamer.

Better at exercising than playing football. At least there’s potential I guess. I’m still curious as to who is going to play DT.

Would have preferred Holton Hill of Texas if they were looking for a bigger corner

Some highlight reels here:

Scouting Report:

A long, strong defensive back, that has the size and length to thrive in press coverage at the next level. Strong tackler, and has the arm length that allows him to effectively break up passes regularly. Extremely reliable, and can improve his draft stock if he can show good to very good top end speed during the draft process.

Chris Campbell broke out in 2017 at Penn State. He started all 13 games and had 25 passes defensed, 2 FF and one INT.

He played in 30 games with just four starts his first three years at PSU.

From Rotoworld:

"Campbell (6’1/195) was a one-year starter but four-year contributor in the Nittany Lions’ secondary, logging five career tackles for loss, 21 pass breakups, and three interceptions. PFF credited Campbell with 14 defensive "stops" on receptions, second most among Division-I senior cornerbacks in 2017. Campbell crushed PSU’s Pro Day with 99th-percentile SPARQ results, second in the CB class behind only Denzel Ward. In the sixth round, Campbell is a low-risk, high-ceiling flyer worth taking."

That Sounds pretty good for a sixth round pick to me. But I guess everyone here who only just learned his name now knows how good (or bad) he is going to be.

Campbell goes by Chris...not Christian.

If you like a slow (4.55), thin-framed CB who doesn’t like to support against the run; he’s your man. I give up. GMabel is right. Hill would seem to be a better option. I no longer have any idea what they are doing. He’s a 7th rounder at best!

 

[juza76]

i guess steve willks has nose for finding hidden gems defensive backs

 

[Cardiac]

Mayock said he likes him and thinks he will be a better pro than college player.

 

[BW52]

Agree with Harry.I don`t see anything better from this kid than whats already on the roster at CB.WTF ?

Go take a look at the team roster. It should satisfy your curiosity .

Peters, Nkemdiche, Pierre, Gunter. Couple other guys on the roster too. I’m not too concerned with defensive tackle

No idea?

They are following their board, not yours.

Wilks has himself a toy finally

 

[Mr.Dibbs]

Sleeper of the draft? They think so:

[overseascardfan]

Why not take McFadden? At least he has actual starting experience. DRC or bust for #2 CB.

A reminder for those wondering about the Cards waiting until the 6th round to take a cornerback: Steve Wilks' reputation is a guy who can develop young DBs, even from later rounds.
