Very surprising. Daniel Jeremiah has him 12th on his list of top 150 prospects (nfl.com). Here is his write-up of Jihaad Campbell.
Campbell is a tall, rangy and explosive linebacker. He was recruited to Alabama as an edge rusher but initially moved to linebacker because of the Crimson Tide’s depth on the edges (SEE: Will Anderson Jr. and Dallas Turner, among others). This past season, he played both off the ball and on the edge. As an off-ball linebacker, he doesn’t possess elite instincts but offers excellent speed and physicality. He can range sideline to sideline and flashes the ability to thump off blockers and collect tackles on inside runs. He displays exciting tools in his pass-rush opportunities off the edge. He can burst/bend and finish. He also grew more comfortable in coverage throughout the 2024 season. He anticipates routes and positions himself to make plays on the ball. As for his health, Campbell underwent left shoulder surgery this spring and teams are a little bit divided on how that will impact his draft position. Overall, Campbell expands the playbook for defensive coordinators and his best football is ahead of him.
