Tyson Campbell
Tyson Malik Campbell (born March 17, 2000) is an American professional football cornerback for the Cleveland Browns of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Georgia Bulldogs. He was selected by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the second round of the 2021 NFL draft.
Campbell attended American Heritage School in Plantation, Florida. A five star recruit, he was ranked as the second-best cornerback recruit in the nation behind teammate Patrick Surtain II. He played in the 2018 U.S. Army All-American Bowl. Campbell committed to the University of Georgia to play college football.
As a true freshman at Georgia in 2018, Campbell started 11 of 14 games, recording 45 tackles and a fumble recovery for a touchdown. As a sophomore he started three of nine games, missing five due to injury. He finished the year with 15 tackles, one sack, and a fumble recovery touchdown.
On January 6, 2021, Campbell announced his decision to forgo his senior year and declared for the 2021 NFL draft. The consensus among NFL draft analysts projected him to be selected in the second or third round. He was ranked as the seventh best cornerback in the draft by a draft analyst from Sports Illustrated and Daniel Jeremiah from NFL.com. Sports Illustrated senior scout Lorenz Leinweber ranked him ninth among all cornerbacks. Dan Brugler from the New York Times ranked Campbell as the eighth cornerback in 2021.
The Jacksonville Jaguars selected Campbell in the second round (33rd overall) of the 2021 NFL draft. He was the sixth cornerback drafted in 2021.
""I wouldn't say 'insurance policy'. It's an 'insurance policy,' the fact that guys get dinged up at that position. Last year was a tough year for us. We had a lot of injuries back there. But it's also — the thing Tyson Campbell gives us is flexibility, something other than (cornerback). He was a safety in high school and he's a very physical player, great blitzer. Those are all the qualities of a nickel. So to have a guy — they're very hard to find. I go back to Florida days of Will Hill or Ahmad Black. But they're hard to find, the guys that can go inside and outside. And that's the reason why. When we saw him sitting there, I didn't know he'd make it there. We were worried he'd be gone before that."
On July 20, 2021, the Jacksonville Jaguars signed Campbell to a four-year, $9.01 million contract that includes $5.98 million guaranteed and a signing bonus of $3.91 million.
Throughout training camp, Campbell competed against Chris Claybrooks, Tre Herndon, Nevin Lawson, and Sidney Jones to earn the third spot at cornerback on the depth chart and a role as the starting nickelback. Head coach Urban Meyer listed Campbell as the third cornerback on the depth chart behind starting cornerback duo C. J. Henderson and Shaquill Griffin.
