For OT Bruce Campbell

This MARRIAGE?
IIRC He's played mostly guard in Oakland. Super athlete but not the best football player.

initially seems like a good move. According to what i've seen so far he's been healthy but inactive most of last year. Apparently he got moved to G and for whatever reason(s) was not so hot there. He was highly touted as a possible top 10 pick going into the 09 draft. His highlights as a Terp and at combine look very promising. Maybe at his natural position and with some better coaching he'll thrive. Did play at LT. Guess at this point he is expected to backup Gross.

Over the last few weeks, the Journal Sentinel polled 21 personnel people, asking them who among the top offensive linemen had the best chance to bust. The fact that Campbell led with 12 votes (Anthony Davis had four votes and five others, including Iupati, each had one) can be attributed to a variety of reasons, but mental acuity was cited by four scouts.
"It's the mental that will get him," said one personnel director who has been in interviews with Campbell. "When he's talking he's not a quick thinker. He's a slow process, a very slow process guy. Somebody will have to tell him what to do all the time."
Another evaluator said Campbell had a "neurological slowness that's extremely scary."
At the combine, Campbell said he grew up in the "ghettos" of New Haven, Conn. After spending 2006 at Hargrave (Va.) Military Academy, he was able to enroll at Maryland.
The Terps' coaching staff took its time with Campbell, playing him in just five games in 2007 and starting him only after another player was injured in mid-2008.
Campbell's incredible workout was the talk of the combine. One scout, however, labeled that as "inconsequential" when compared to what he described as Campbell's "awful" play on tape and the 15-minute interviews he did with team after team in Indianapolis.
"He might be the most phenomenal physical specimen I've ever seen," one longtime scout said. "But he can't conceptualize."
