All Gang Green Nation insights about Cam Camper
NegativeProjectionAug 4, 2026
Caught a lot of contested catches during college and UFL action; size is an asset against smaller defensive backs. Had one fumble during college career in 2022. Called for offensive pass interference once at Boise State. Had eight offensive penalties in three college years and one in the UFL, showing generally good on-field discipline.PositiveProjectionAug 4, 2026
Was a solid blocker in college who uses his size well on the outside. UFL run-blocking grades from Pro Football Focus were poor, but the source notes this often indicates more demanding assignments rather than poor performance, suggesting he may have been asked to do more than typical receivers.NegativeProjectionAug 4, 2026
After-the-catch numbers are nothing special; will fight for yardage but doesn't break many tackles. Had one highlight during UFL season with a 74-yard touchdown. Averaged less than six yards per play on screen passes in college, limiting value in that role.NegativeProjectionAug 4, 2026
Red zone production has not been outstanding; never had five touchdown catches in a season at any level post-high school. However, has shown on a few occasions he can be a good option to throw it up to near the goal line and scored on one two-point conversion in college.NegativeProjectionAug 4, 2026
Displays good base fundamentals as a route runner with well-executed releases and ability to disguise breaks by leaning inside to create leverage. Shows some ability to use body to box out defenders, which may be necessary if he cannot generate separation against NFL-level cornerbacks.PositiveProjectionAug 4, 2026
Showcases impressive ability to lay out and make catches at full extension; does not always catch cleanly but shows good concentration maintaining control and preventing drops. Drop rate was low throughout college career, though six of 11 drops came in 2024.PositiveProjectionAug 4, 2026
Showed good success on downfield routes in college and UFL action; had plays of 45, 52, and 53 yards at Boise State. Tracks the ball well over his shoulder, though more of a jump-ball target than a player likely to get behind the defense. Longest play at Indiana was 41 yards.NegativeProjectionAug 4, 2026
Pro day measurables were about average across the board; ran a solid-for-his-size 4.52 in the 40-yard dash. Did not participate in the bench press. Catch radius falls short of recent Jets signing Quincy Skinner despite Skinner being over an inch shorter, a notable athleticism gap.NegativeProjectionAug 4, 2026
Catch rate improved significantly from college to professional levels: fell short of 60 percent in both Indiana seasons, improved to 67 percent at Boise State, and reached 71 percent in the UFL. However, caught only one of five targets in NFL preseason action, suggesting adjustment challenges at the professional level.NegativeUsageAug 4, 2026
Primarily played outside during college and UFL action, with slot usage around 20 percent in college. Has not carried the ball as a rusher at any level. Averaged less than six yards per play on screen passes in college, suggesting limited value in that role.PositiveUsageAug 4, 2026
Flashed on special teams in the UFL with nine tackles (seven in his last four games) despite minimal college special teams experience. Played on wing and rush positions rather than as a gunner, suggesting versatility in coverage roles that could be a pathway to roster inclusion.NegativeInjuryAug 4, 2026
Injuries have been a significant concern throughout his career: tore his ACL in his first season at Indiana, suffered another knee injury in his second game back requiring additional surgery on the repaired knee, and both JUCO seasons were cut short by undisclosed injuries. However, he has remained healthy for the past few seasons, including a full 2024 season at Boise State.NegativeProjectionAug 4, 2026
Best-case scenario is a practice squad spot; special teams performance may be his likeliest route onto the roster. The source emphasizes that as a non-guaranteed minimum salary camp body, past injury history is less of a concern, but he must perform well to earn a longer look.NegativeRoleAug 4, 2026
Signed by the Jets to replace injured Gee Scott; expected to fill a third-unit outside receiver role initially. The source notes that despite more impressive college production (903 yards, 58 receptions at Boise State in 2024) and solid UFL film (23 catches, 340 yards, 14.8 yards per catch average in seven games) compared to recent Jets signing Quincy Skinner, the Jets prioritized Skinner, suggesting Camper was lower on their receiver watchlist.NegativeDepth ChartAug 1, 2026
The Jets signed free agent wide receiver Cam Camper, adding a new face to the team's wide receiver depth chart battle during the first week of training camp.
