Giants got a lot faster with him and Waller. He has played a lot of slot but probably falls under that umbrella of guys they see can contribute outside.

Had Campbell as one of my top targets for NYG entering FA. History with WR coach Mike Groh, good fit in this offense predicated on route running, desperate for speed.

2019 second-round pick missed 34 games due to injury in his first three seasons. He was finally healthy last season and had 63 catches for 623 yards and 3 TD. Played in the slot 77% of snaps last year. WR coach Mike Groh was with Campbell for two years in Indy
He played in all 17 games last year... that is noticeable. His bad luck could be over and gets it together... He has great speed, good route runner, and good hands.

Agreed
RE: sort of interesting he played 82% slot last year
for his career he's been 68% slot, 32% wide. he also had a similar % at OSU. so he's played a lot more slot than slayton.
6% drop rate at IND and 8% drop rate at OSU so he catches the ball better than slayton.
he hasn't been as explosive by YPC but athletically he replaces slayton's speed.
when in doubt going with an OSU receiver isnt the worst idea.
I noticed the ypc too. Very low. I had interest in Campbell over the last few years. It was mostly injuries that derailed him but I also thought that Indy was using him all wrong. How does a guy with that explosion average 10 yards per catch? Daboll and Kafka will get this guy the ball with room to run. I think they can get more out of him than he has shown thus far in his career.
Sep 29, 2019 NFL Abdomen Muscle Strain Grade 2 Campbell suffered an abdominal injury during the second quarter of the game versus the Raiders, He missed three games
Nov 3, 2019 NFL Hand Metacarpal Fracture He missed four games following surgery to address a fractured right hand
Dec 8, 2019 NFL Pedal Foot Fracture He suffered a broken foot against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers that led him to be placed on the season-ending injured reserve list.
Aug 26, 2020 NFL Head Cranial Concussion Grade 1 Campbell suffered a concussion when he was involved in a minor car accident.
Sep 20, 2020 NFL Knee MCL Sprain Grade 2 Campbell suffered an MCL injury in the first quarter of Week 2 against the Minnesota Vikings. He was done for the 2020 season
Sep 20, 2020 NFL Knee PCL Sprain Grade 2 Campbell suffered a PCL injury in the first quarter of Week 2 against the Minnesota Vikings. He was done for the 2020 season
Sep 17, 2021 NFL Abdomen Muscle Sprain/Pull Unspecified Grade 1 Campbell missed Week 2's game against the Rams due to an abdomen injury.
Oct 17, 2021 NFL Pedal Foot Sprain Campbell suffered a ‘significant’ foot injury in the Colts' Week 6 win over the Houston Texans.
which is too much of a theme with wr group and we'll see what the price is but i have no issue rolling the dice on someone other than slayton.
i think it was campbell who caught the long jump ball against the nyg in the week 17 game.
If the dollars are low don't mind it. High upside but ANOTHER potential injury prone guy. Obviously can't be the only thing we do. However if he is kind of an add as another WR2 or WR3 option...not terrible.
We still need ideally to trade for a low contract potential WR1 like eudy/Pittman/Aiyuk. Otherwise at minimum hit it hard in the draft.

this is last year in indy, the vast majority of his targets were 9 yards or less downfield. almost 20% were behind the LOS.
I figured the Giants would be very attractive as a 1 year prove it destination for some of these upside guys. You'll have a great opportunity for a high target share with offensive coaches that have a strong reputation.
signing. His injury history likely drives down his price, but you either take a chance on a WR like him, or overpay in terms of salary and draft picks for Jeudy, Sutton, etc. I assume this also means that Slayton and James are likely gone, which is fine.
I wonder what Sy thought of him at draft time? Drafted in 2nd round
4: Paris Campbell – Ohio State – 6’0/205
Grade: 78
Summary: After a very successful high school track career, Campbell arrived at Ohio State and had to wait awhile before he made a big impact on offense. He turned from athlete to football player and ended his career with two straight All-Big 10 seasons, 2018 being a 1st Team honor. The team captain showed glimpses of elite, game breaking talent who is based on speed and easy movement. He is one of those players who is simply playing at a different speed than his opponents, no matter who is on the field. He still has some rawness to his game but receivers in the Ohio State offense don’t always get the full opportunity to show what they can really do. There is a boom or bust label next to Campbell’s name, but at the very least he will be a dangerous return man and gimmick-player who opposing defenses do not want to deal with.
*I was recently told by someone I trust that Campbell is “definitely” going to be the first WR taken. The NFL loves his skill set and top tier explosion. Campbell has the look of a star but there are a couple things missing for me. First, I think he lacks some of the toughness that is required to be an effective slot and there is an inconsistent attention to detail that isn’t always needed in the OSU offense. Upside is undeniable and I do think he will make plays, but I wouldn’t want him to be my number one guy.
i think it was campbell who caught the long jump ball against the nyg in the week 17 game.

Who hasn’t it seems? 😂
Hopefully he's cheap and the contract is boidable without significant cap implications.
Slayton’s replacement as far as stretching the defense downfield.

The Giants are signing Colts WR Parris Campbell, according to a source (

1st).
Mentioned Campbell as a free agent they liked the other day. He can play both inside and outside.
6% drop rate at IND and 8% drop rate at OSU so he catches the ball better than slayton.

#Giants staff has shown an affinity for versatile WRs...
Coming off a season where he had about 700 yards from scrimmage and 5 TDs.
Get as many WRs into camp as you can and let them battle it out for 5-6 WR spots.

He’ll have a chance to break out. Type of guy who has needed a change of scenery.
Still think they draft a WR early.
