Would Jack Campbell Fit on the Packers?
Campbell seems like a decent fit for the Packers. The range and the tackling ability are skills that the Packers desperately need on defense. Being able to read screens and other misdirection is key in today’s NFL. The only issue is Campbell’s run defense. This is an area the Packers have to improve in for 2023. Campbell may not be the answer to that issue.
Check Out Another Prospect That Could Fit For the Packers
Ultimately, the good news if the Packers do pick Campbell is he does not have to be a week 1 starter. He could provide some depth to the position while developing. Iowa has often put out good defensive prospects so nabbing Campbell in the mid-rounds is not a bad pickup.
