Keyshon Camp Scouting Report

Camp is a versatile defensive lineman that plays with leverage at the point of attack whether inside or outside. He keeps his eyes in the backfield when inside, he moves linemen to either side with strong hands. He plays with good leverage, even on the nose. He is a hustle defender with a good bull rush. He rarely goes to the ground shows good balance. He delivers a strong punch and uses his hands to shed blocks to move plays in the hole or outside the box.

Keyshon is a thickly built defender with abnormal strength. He shows good lateral agility challenging inside with quickness and brute strength. He has fluid footwork to redirect. He is regularly the first off the ball with good snap anticipation. He faces double teams and holds the line. Stays alive against the run and mobile quarterbacks, shedding to either side to chase.

Areas for Improvement

Keyshon's durability over his college career is what stands out the most, and teams will take that into count when scouting him. He needs to improve his hand placement and technique. He sees the ball well but is stuck in traffic, does not shed to make plays often enough. He lacks the speed to turn the corner consistently. He is too often washed out by stronghanded blockers.

Camp's agility is not a question but misses tackles when he does not square and break down properly. He appears to have only average arm length, and ballcarriers too often are able to shield him with a stiff arm to jar him or miss direct his pursuit angle. He has good strength, though his marginal closing ability. He is inconsistent quickness off the snap prevents him from being an elite pass rusher.
