Philadelphia Eagles' rookie linebacker Jihaad Campbell faces a challenging start to his NFL career as he continues to recover from shoulder and knee injuries sustained while at Alabama. Expected to miss the early stages of training camp, the Eagles are in a unique position to exercise patience due to their strong defense.

Campbell expresses frustration but remains optimistic, emphasizing the importance of rehabilitation. His combination of size, speed, and athleticism could make him a vital player for the Eagles' defense once he is fully healthy. The team has high hopes, as they selected him as the first linebacker in the first round in nearly 50 years.
