Truth be told, I’m not the biggest Parris Campbell fan. Heading into the draft I labeled the OSU prospect as raw, one-dimensional, and your prototypical boom or bust wideout. I even went as far as to say that I thought his Buckeye teammate - Terry McLaurin - was a superior player.
After all, Campbell showed little as a route-runner, wasn’t physical at the catch point, and played in a very limited role. In fact, according to Sports Info Solutions, a whopping 49.5% of Campbell’s receptions came on screens, jet sweep passes, or drag routes.
