Bruce Campbell was picked up by the Oakland Raiders (currently Las Vegas Raiders) in the 2010 NFL Draft. He fell short of his initial projection by analysts who saw him being scooped up in the top 10 of the draft. Instead, Campbell joined the Oakland-based outfit as the 106 overall pick in the fourth round of the draft.

He was never placed as a starter in a single one of his 14 games during his tenure with the Oakland Raiders that ended in 2011. Bruce Campbell bounced around to the Carolina Panthers, Washington Redskins, and New York Jets for no more than a year each. However, it’s important to note that his one-year deal with the Redskins (currently Washington Football Team) was voided after failing his team physical.
