Parris Campbell

Campbell played just six games last season due to foot surgery, recording 10 receptions for 162 yards with a touchdown on 20 targets. It was his third consecutive injury-plagued campaign, and he's played just 15 games in three years. The 2019 second-rounder is an intriguing athlete, considering at 6-0, 208 pounds, he ran a 4.31 40 and had a 135-inch broad jump and 40-inch vertical at the NFL combine. Most players that fast and athletic are well under 200 pounds. Campbell has had glimpses where his speed has demonstrated that he could be a significant factor in the offense. This coming season, he's the leading candidate to win the Colts' slot receiver role, but he needs to show he can stay healthy for any length of time.

Campbell saw nine targets in Week 1 last season, before going down for the year early in Week 2 with a torn MCL and PCL. He's healthy at press time and will compete for a role with T.Y. Hilton, Michael Pittman and Zach Pascal. Campbell is one of the overlooked freak athletes in the league - at 6-0, 208, he ran a 4.31 40 and had a 135-inch broad jump and 40-inch vertical. Most players that fast and athletic are well under 200 pounds. Campbell's biggest issue has been health - he's suited up for only nine of a possible 32 games his first two seasons. The Colts offense could be run-heavy, but with Hilton aging and injured and Pittman not yet established, there are targets for the taking in Indianapolis.

Campbell had a forgettable rookie year due to hand, hamstring, abdominal and foot injuries, the latter of which ended his season. In seven games, he saw only 24 targets for a meager 7.1 YPC and 5.3 YPT. But last year's injury-riddled performance with Jacoby Brissett at quarterback isn't especially probative of what a healthy Campbell could do in a competent passing attack. At 6-0, 205, Campbell has average size, but he ran a scorching 4.31 40 at the 2019 combine and posted elite marks in the vertical (40 inches), broad jump (135 inches) and 20-yard shuttle (4.03), making him one of the best athletes in a deep and talented receiver class. Campbell wasn't polished as a route runner coming out of college, so for now he lacks football skills commensurate with his athletic talent, but he should improve with more experience. The Colts upgraded to Philip Rivers (albeit a declining version) this offseason, and Campbell figures to compete for targets behind T.Y. Hilton (never a target hog) with Zach Pascal and rookie Michael Pittman, i.e., there's a breakout opportunity should Campbell take the next step.

Taken with the 59th overall pick in this year's draft, Campbell has as a chance to emerge as the team's No. 3 wideout sooner rather than later. T.Y. Hilton is the team's top wideout, but he's not a target hog on the DeAndre Hopkins/Antonio Brown level. The team also brought in Devin Funchess this offseason and gave him a one-year, $10 million deal, but beyond them, the depth chart is scant. At 6-0, 205, Campbell runs a blazing 4.31 40, rare speed for a receiver of that height and weight. He also posted elite marks in the vertical (40 inches), the broad jump (135 inches) and the 20-yard shuttle (4.03), making him one of the best athletes in his class. Campbell isn't especially polished and could struggle for volume at the outset, but there's upside should the Colts get him involved once the rookie gains comfort in the offense, or alternatively, injuries hit.
