STM Take

Six Pro Bowls plus 2017 1st-team All-Pro plus 110+ career sacks plus the 2025 tier 1 (#7) STTM finish at age 39 with Arizona puts Campbell in the rarefied Hall-of-Fame trajectory class with an unprecedented late-career return. The 17-year NFL career plus the homecoming to Arizona where his career started makes the 2025 finish one of the most remarkable late-career stories at the position. The 2026 question is whether Campbell extends through age 40 or whether the elite late-career chapter closes.

Campbell came out of Miami as the Arizona Cardinals' 2nd-round pick (50th overall) in 2008 and has built a 17-year career across the Cardinals, Jaguars, Ravens, Falcons, Dolphins, and back to Arizona for 2025. He has made six Pro Bowls (2014, 2015, 2017, 2019, 2020, 2024) and earned 2017 1st-team All-Pro recognition. He has crossed 110 career sacks. His STTM career runs tier 3 (#19) in 2020 with the Ravens, then a notable absence from STTM until tier 1 (#7) in 2025 at age 39 with Arizona.

Strengths

  • Six Pro Bowls plus 2017 1st-team All-Pro plus 110+ career sacks plus 17 years of NFL survival establishes a Hall-of-Fame interior defender résumé.
  • Tier 1 (#7) STTM finish at age 39 with Arizona is one of the most unprecedented late-career elite ceilings at the position in NFL history.

Concerns

  • Age 39 plus 17 years of interior-line wear puts the structural late-career closure question on every 2026 projection.
  • Arizona's broader defensive identity around the rebuild plus the QB transition compresses the structural support around Campbell's late-career chapter.

What to watch: Whether Campbell extends through age 40 in 2026 plus holds tier 3 or better, the threshold for closing one of the most remarkable late-career chapters at the position.
