NFL Draft picks 2015: Ibraheim Campbell taken by Browns in 4th round

With the No. 115 overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft, the Cleveland Browns have selected safety Ibraheim Campbell. A four-year starter at Northwestern, the Philadelphia native had an injury-plagued senior campaign but rose up the draft boards with a strong showing at the Senior Bowl.

Campbell, a co-captain for the Wildcats in 2014, earned second-team All-Big Ten honors after racking up three interceptions and 54 tackles in just eight games. He leaves Northwestern with an impressive resume, tied for third in program history in career interceptions (11) and tied for fifth in pass breakups (24).

The 5’11, 208-pound prospect was limited to only the bench press (23 reps) at the Combine in February because of a hamstring strain and then had to back out of Northwestern’s pro day with that lingering injury. He later held a private workout for scouts, where he tested well: a 4.47 40, a 4.03 short shuttle, a 33-inch vertical jump and a 9-10 broad jump.

Campbell is considered an above-average run defender in both attacking the ball carrier at line of scrimmage and as an effective open-field tackler. He has also been praised for his leadership skills and high motor, along with his ability for creating turnovers (four forced fumbles and three interceptions in eight games in 2014). His coverage skills are also solid, though there are concerns about whether he has the instincts to be more than a box safety at the next level.
