Falcons add LB De'Vondre Campbell in 4th round

The Atlanta Falcons have selected linebacker De'Vondre Campbell out of Minnesota in the fourth round of the 2016 NFL Draft.

Campbell played inside linebacker in college, but may project as a pass-rushing outside linebacker in the NFL.

Campell is explosive and has a chance to become a key piece in Dan Quinn's defense.

De'Vondre Campbell Bio

Position: LB
School: Minnesota
College Experience: Redshirt Senior
Height: 6-4
Weight: 232 lbs.

Strengths

• Above-average straight-line and closing speed for an NFL outside linebacker.
• Great lateral quickness allows him to track down ball carriers downfield.
• Possesses great length and striking ability, and is always looking to make a play on the ball.

Weaknesses

• Needs to work on diagnostic ability significantly, and misreads plays far too often for a linebacker.
• Due to aggression, will often overrun plays and take himself out of position.
• Despite above-average athleticism, Campbell struggles in coverage and might be out of place in a 3-4 scheme.
