Promising Jihaad Campbell stats prove Howie Roseman nailed the NFL Draft again

The Philadelphia Eagles have developed a well-earned reputation for being one of the best teams in the NFL when it comes to drafting and developing their own internal talent, and the early returns suggest that GM Howie Roseman may have landed yet another tremendous long-term talent in linebacker Jihaad Campbell. Not only was social media lit ablaze when the Eagles managed to select Campbell, a player many believed would be selected within the first 20 picks of the 2025 NFL Draft, at No. 31 overall, but Eagles fans were relieved they could replace Nakobe Dean after his unfortunate injury. While the Eagles' offense hasn't lived up to the hype, the Philly defense has been as good as advertised so far. Campbell and Zack Baun have been performing like one of the best linebacker duos in the league, giving the Alabama product a head start in the Defensive Rookie of the Year race. Per Pro Football Focus, Campbell has earned a sparkling 83.4 overall grade after two weeks, which puts him first among all rookie linebac
