Ibraheim Campbell NFL Draft 2015: Scouting Report, Grade for Browns Rookie

STRENGTHS

Ibraheim Campbell is a filled-out athlete (5'11", 208 lbs) with the ideal bulk and build for the strong safety position in the NFL. Campbell has been asked to play in the box and over the top at Northwestern and has produced at both. He attacks the ball well with an aggressive streak. Campbell has the quickness to cover tight end and running backs in phase and won't get boxed-out for the ball. Campbell was a turnover machine (three interceptions, four forced fumbles) and plays with the toughness to set the edge in the run game. He's an extra linebacker on the field and has special teams potential.

WEAKNESSES

When left alone in deep coverage, Campbell will give up big plays down the field. That makes him a better projection as an in-the-box safety, and not many teams are employing a limited safety these days. Campbell has the frame to be a bully as a tackler, but his technique and form lead to a lot of missed tackles. His vision and diagnosis skills are limited to what's happening right in front of him. He'll get caught up on misdirection and play action. General play awareness is an issue for Campbell. He missed four games in 2014 with injuries.

2014 STATISTICS

Tackles: 54          
Passes Defended: 3

PRO COMPARISON: James Ihedigbo, Detroit Lions

A strong safety with some coverage skills, Campbell has the frame and style of a James Ihedigbo-type safety.

FINAL GRADE: 5.20/9.00 (Quality Backup)
