The San Francisco 49ers are hosting cornerback Chris Campbell of Penn State for a pre-draft visit today, according to a report by Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
Visits: #Washington DT Vita Vea is visiting the #Redskins today (not sure he'll actually be there at No. 13). ... #PennSt CB Christian Campbell is on a Top 30 visit with the #49ers today. The type of long CB they like.

Campbell played sparingly during his junior season, catching his first interception and forcing a fumble. His playing time increased the next year due to an injury to starting John Reid. As a senior, Campbell played in all 13 games for Penn State and had team-highs of 13 passes defensed and two forced fumbles. His senior performance earned him an invite to the 2018 Senior Bowl.

At the NFL Scouting Combine, the 6-foot-1 and 195-pound Campbell had had 14 reps in the bench press. Other measurables for Campbell include an arm length of 33 1/2 inches and hands that measure 8 3/4 inches.
NFL.com projects Campbell to be a sixth- or seventh-round draft pick.
Lance Zierlein of NFL.com wrote the following within his scouting report:
"Long corner lacking the fluidity and twitch to stay connected with intermediate and deep routes. Campbell looks more comfortable playing off the line where his long arms have a shot to cover for his inconsistent footwork. He's not a fluid enough athlete and hasn't made enough plays on the ball to warrant much excitement, but if he runs well, his size and speed could get him drafted."
