Rover ~ Ibraheim Campbell ~ NorthWestern WildCats ~ 5112/208
Regarding RoverBacks
Rovers ~ RoverBack is my term for what Earthlings refer to as "Strong Safeties". I don't find the employment of "Safety" as a moniker for a Position to be nearly as demeaning as "LineBacker", mind you, but it's still a pretty lame term for a Gladiator, if you ask me. The Prototype would be somewhere around 6000/210, or thereabouts.
Rovers are of course Hybrids, in that they are tasked equally with Run Defense and Pass Defense.
When evaluating RoverBacks, this is how I break things down:
Agility: Acceleration, Ricochet, Fluidity, and Verticity ~ that's Turn & Burn Acuity, to you Earthlings!!
Processing Speed: How quickly and effectively one Reads & Reacts to the developing Play.
Run Defense: Power, Agility, Combat Skills, and Processing Speed.
Pass Coverage: Agility and Processing Speed.
Broken down into SubCategories, it'd go something like this:
Agility
* Fluidity, above all things: Core Agility & Flexibility makes everything possible.
* Ricochet ~ How crisply and how rapidly one breaks in a new direction.
* Acceleration ~ Short Speed or Quickness. Closing Speed.
* Verticity ~ The Ability ~ or lack thereof ~ to Flips Hips and Turn & Burn in Pass Coverage.
Processing Speed
* How quickly and effectively one Reads & Reacts to the developing Play.
Run Defense
* Power
* Agility
* Combat Skills
* Processing Speed
Pass Coverage
* Agility

Ibraheim Campbell Scouting Report
Agility: Moderate but with Exceptional Potential. Campbell is yet another case of a guy flashing far better Intrinsic Agility at the Combine than Functional Agility on Tape. Whether or not he ever translates that to the Field is the Question.
Processing Speed: Ditto: Moderate but with Exceptional Potential. Campbell works as hard in the Tape Room as the Weight Room, so Time & Training could very well pay off for'm in the Future: He's a smart kid.
Run Defense: Impressive and potentially Excellent. Moderate Field Vision is the Variable. Impressive Fluidity but mediocre Acceleration translating to Moderate Range. Competitive Combat Skills. Impressive Tackling.
Pass Coverage: Mediocre. Moderate Range, but sufficient for Cover 2. Competitive in Press Coverage and in Off.

Ibraheim Campbell Prospectus
Campbell seems to bring considerably better Fluidity than Speed ~ both Intrinsic and Functional ~ to the BattleField, so I'm thinking he deploys best as either a Box Rover or a Cover 2 CenterFielder or both, if his Team Flexes.
His best Attributes are the Intangibles: Ibraheim Campbell is by all accounts an extremely hard working, mature, reliable, and smart kid, one who understands that the Tape Room is as crucial to Success as the Weight Room.
As such, I fully expect that he'll make the most of moderate physical Talents, and that his Trajectory, while as moderate as his Talent, will be a positive one, and that he's got a good Chance of earning Starter's Snaps eventually.
Grateful Thanks, as always, for the crucial Work done by the folks at Draft BreakDown!!

Please do Note: This and all Evaluations issued by this Site are produced by a ludicrously unqualified Amateur, privy to not even the tiniest fraction of Coach's Tape, Scouting Expertise, Face to Face Interviewing, Experience, or Inside Information enjoyed by the Professionals. As such, anything put forth is certainly misinformed, euphonious, derivative Tripe, and should be rejected out'f hand and indeed shunned by all men and women of Good Will!! I'm trying to discern Power, Agility, Combat Skills, and far more abstract, esoteric Concepts such as Processing Speed and Motor, and I'm trying to do so based almost entirely on a fascinating fusion of Tape, Combine Numbers, and Pro Days, while trying to attenuate my findings based on Allowances for Competition Level, Scheme, Concept, Context, and, above all: Trajectory!!
None of this is even remotely a Complaint, mind you, but rather a Warning!! Caveat Emptor!!
