Jihaad Campbell, the Philadelphia Eagles' first-round pick, is set to begin his career as an off-ball linebacker. This position aligns well with his versatility, allowing him to eventually transition to a role as an edge rusher. His self-description as simply a 'football player' highlights his adaptability on the field, akin to All-Pros like Micah Parsons and Fred Warner, whom he admires. Eagles insiders, including Fran Duffy, suggest that while Campbell has the size for a linebacker at 6'3" and 235 pounds, his transition to an edge defender may be challenging given the physical attributes typically required at that position. Despite concerns about his size, Campbell's impressive stats from the previous season at Alabama, where he recorded five sacks and 117 tackles, demonstrate his potential impact.
