While that is a enormous dilemma mark in itself—Campbell being healthy—the fourth-yr wideout put alongside one another a sturdy day at OTAs on Wednesday. At one particular level, he grabbed 3 consecutive touchdown passes from quarterback Matt Ryan.

Head mentor Frank Reich advised the media Wednesday just what form of impact his ability set can carry.

“I imagine he can play in the slot, he can engage in all that match – the shallows, the crosses, the selection-routes. He’s good, he’s explosive, you can place him at the outdoors. He’s acquired speed to get deep. He’s bought fantastic footwork on the top of routes on the outdoors going vertical,” Reich mentioned. “So, genuinely establish him as a finish receiver. Definitely, which is the upside if he can remain nutritious. He’s got to prove it. He’s bought to establish that he can continue to be wholesome. He’s obtained to demonstrate that he can execute and make enjoy just after enjoy immediately after enjoy, but I see him as possessing that kind of possible.”

It is been the exact same aged tale when it arrives to Campbell. The upside presented his pace and skill set is very intriguing. He presents a special recreation that would enable the Colts immensely.

However, the accidents proceed to pile up. We’re not speaking about comfortable tissue accidents right here. We’re chatting about damaged bones, shattered arms, torn ligaments and hernias. Most of which have necessary medical procedures.

Campbell has been in the league three many years and has currently experienced much more accidents than most gamers could imagine—not that they’d want to.

And even while observing the extended listing of injuries can make us sympathetic toward Campbell and his journey hence considerably, Reich pointed out that the finest potential is still availability.

You have to get paid every rep you get on that industry,” Reich said. “We all adore Parris and we all have a ton of perception in Parris and the upside, this is like I mentioned, there’s no sentimental favorites. Each individual male is going to get a good shot to gain a spot to be on the area.”

In excess of the study course of three seasons, Campbell has performed just 15 total online games. He’s hardly ever played a lot more than 7 video games in a one year and recorded a occupation-higher 18 receptions in the course of his rookie campaign.

The sky is the limit for Campbell in this Colts offense, but absolutely everyone is aware of this is a important 12 months for him to demonstrate he can stay nutritious and lead just before absolutely free agency arrives in 2023.
