When the Philadelphia Eagles traded up a spot to select Jihaad Campbell at No. 31 overall, the front office had a good idea of the player they were getting. This is more than just on the field accolades.

Former Alabama standout Jihaad Campbell became the first off-ball linebacker taken by the team since Jerry Robinson in 1979, but it’s not quite that simple. He may have a clear pathway to starting alongside Eagles do-it-all linebacker Zack Baun as a rookie early next year, but could also have pathways to much more based off his college tape.
