Cameron's closest Super Model comps:
Bottom line: Cameron was a late bloomer, and his production never reached the high-end ranges we want from a prospect like that. He is your classic strong-ball skills but separation-concerns prospect. He could add value in the red zone on the right team. The Rookie Super Model sees Cameron as a late Day 3 NFL Draft selection. He is a WR6 in fantasy football.
