Parris Campbell said he was "highly disrespected" when NFL.com left him off its list of college football's fastest players earlier this month.

Campbell got the respect he felt he deserved from NFL.com on Friday, however, when the Ohio State wide receiver was ranked 10th on the league's official website's list of college football's most freakish athletes.

From NFL.com's Chase Goodbread, who put both lists together:

Even on a roster filled with top-notch talent, Campbell's physical measurables stand above. The Buckeyes receiver can vertical-jump 40 inches and broad-jump 11-3 -- both results would typically place him very high among all participants at the NFL combine. He possesses blazing speed on a sturdy 208-pound frame, and has been clocked at sub-4.4 in the 40-yard dash, per Ohio State. Not surprisingly, he's one of the nation's most prolific kickoff returners with a career average north of 30 yards per return.

Campbell is expected to be a crucial leader for the Buckeyes this season, as he is set to play both in Ohio State's offense on the field and as a captain who will also give the team its pregame speeches in the locker room.
