Campbell achieved an overall Pro Football Focus grade of 85.0 in 2021, marking a career high. That mark plummeted to 65.1 this past season. Campbell is determined to showcase the caliber of play he exhibited in 2021, aiming to dispel any lingering doubts about his abilities.

With Kendricks out of the picture, Campbell is poised to step in for Greenlaw during the upcoming season.
