Campbell Shines at Combine

Maryland offensive tackle Bruce Campbell excelled at the 40-yard dash at the NFL combine at Indianapolis this Saturday. The former Terrapin posted unofficial times of 4.78 and 4.81 seconds in the 40-yard dash, as well as an official time of 4.85 seconds. Campbell also performed 34 bench press repetitions on Friday, impressing NFL scouts. According to NFL.com "he could be the early nominee for combine workout warrior — the player who forces talent evaluators to go back and take a second look at his game tapes."

According to WalterFootball.com, Campbell is projected to go eighth overall in the 2010 NFL Draft to the Oakland Raiders. It is well documented that Raiders owners Al Davis is obsessed with 40-yard dash times, selecting another former Terrapin, Darrius Heyward-Bey, 7th overall in the 2009 NFL Draft after he posted the best 40-yard dash time of any wide receiver in the draft.
