Here's some background info on Kelly Campbell, pre-draft info from PFW, just for the heck of it.


WR LeVaughn Kelly Campbell, #6

(5-10 ½, 175, 4.38) – Likes to go by his middle name. Top high school sprinter and jumper who also excelled in football and played baseball. Lettered as a true freshman in 1998, catching 11 passes for 131 yards and one touchdown and carrying the ball once for 12 yards. Team’s top receiver in 1999, despite playing at least four games with a broken jaw that was wired. Caught 69-1,105-10 and carried 4-41-1. Saw a lot more double teams in 2000 but still caught 59-963-10. Rushed 4-87-2 and returned 26 kickoffs for 632 yards. Had 41- and 50-yard TD runs and gained quite a bit of his receiving yardage after the catch. Campbell has exceptional quickness and speed, enabling him to do a very good job of separating from the defender. While he lacks size and strength, he does a nice job of avoiding the jam with deft fakes and quickness coming off the line. Campbell is at his best running vertical routes, but he will catch in traffic and can turn a short crossing pattern into a big play. He appears to have soft hands and can extend and snatch the ball, but at times he seems to struggle judging the ball.
