DJ Campbell is an effective run and pass blocker who has the upside to be an average starting right guard in the NFL. He has excellent competitive toughness with good overall core strength and solid control when he is on the move.
He provides pop on his down blocks, solid force/leverage when engaged in base blocks, and his large hands allow him to control when he does fit them tightly. However, he is a bit erratic with his hands, which hinders his ability to sustain blocks, despite his solid mirroring skills.
Campbell is also a bit stiff in his lower half, which limits his range. Overall, DJ Campbell has a high floor, with some refinement that could help him unlock his potential.
