NFL draft prospect profile: Tyson Campbell's weaknesses
While there is no argument against Campbell's athleticism, he has some alarming weaknesses, but the right team and coach can easily be appended.
He allowed seven total touchdowns in coverage, and 5 of those were in 2020; two of the touchdowns came in 2020 while versing the Florida Gators, where Campbell was destroyed by tight end Kyle Pitts and wide receiver Trevon Grimes.
Campbell was a good cover man, but his transitions weren't as clean. Neither was his footwork. He leaned into the receiver multiple times, and he lost balance too often on quick cuts from receivers.
Spatial awareness in the zone was subpar and would give too much of a cushion when he wasn't high-lowed.
In 2019 he was out for most of the season becuase of a foot injury. He tried to work through it and tried to play through but ultimately missed five games.
In the past three seasons, he has a combined one interception and 11 pass breakups.
