Scouting Dossier
PFF
Strengths
● Unique size, with running-back bulk, long arms and tapered waist
● Physical in a crowd, with outstanding strength to make plays on the ball
● “Freaks List” alum (395-pound bench press, 528-pound squat, 319-pound power clean)
● Adjusts focus well on the move to track over his shoulder
● Stabs the ball with firm hands (dropped just one ball in his final 19 starts)
● Powers through cut-off and tackle attempts
● Competitive blocker and can be an asset in the run game
● Averaged 14.0 yards per return as a punt returner (45 attempts for 632 yards)
● Team captain for six games in 2025 (NFL scout: “Self-motivated kid. … [He] strains in the weight room and it shows on the field.”)
● Finished top-10 in school history in career catches
Weaknesses
● Average long speed and won’t easily separate vertically
● Mechanical at the top of routes and doesn’t set up corners
● Routes tend to be upright, hurried and forecasted
● Lacks suddenness in his releases — corners can manipulate his path
● Not elusive after the catch
● Fumbled twice against Arizona State in 2025
● Inexperienced with snaps out of the slot
Projection
A three-year starter at Baylor, Cameron was exclusively an outside receiver (92.8 percent of snaps) to the right of the formation in
offensive coordinator Jake Spavital’s spread scheme. A former walk-on, he bet on himself — and it paid off, as he became the Bears’ No.
1 receiving option as a junior and senior. He led the Big 12 in receptions per game (5.8) in 2025. He was a frequent visitor to the end
zone, too, as one of only six FBS players with 19-plus receiving touchdowns over the past two seasons.
A big-bodied target, Cameron is a physical presence on the outside and has above-average ball skills (1.4 percent drop rate). He is an
adequate athlete, by NFL standards, who tracks the ball well at every level and tramples defensive backs after the catch. However,
nuance is missing from his route inventory. He gives away too many indicators and doesn’t have the stop/start burst to easily uncover.
Overall, Cameron plays well through contact and has functional strength and ball-winning size, but his struggle in
separating and avoiding contested windows will be a limiting factor. Though he has traits that intrigue NFL teams,
development time is needed.

Freak Notes
- Feldman-Freaks-2025 · #49He’s a unique weapon. In 2024, he led Baylor in catches (52), yards (754) and receiving TDs (10). Beyond that, he returned 14 punts for 290 yards (a spectacular average of 20.7 yards per return). He was such a nightmare for opposing special teams that Baylor’s last four opponents of the year did not even give Cameron an opportunity to run one back, so he ended up falling below the NCAA’s statistical minimum threshold for punt return average to lead the nation in punt returns. The 6-1, 225-pound senior has to be one of the strongest wideouts in college football. This offseason, he bench pressed 395 pounds, squatted 528 and power cleaned 319. He also clocked 21.6 mph on the GPS.
