Eagles starting to sneakily show Jihaad Campbell's potential role on defense

The plan for Philadelphia Eagles first-round pick Jihaad Campbell was originally to have him at inside linebacker to give him time to learn the defense. That might not be the case anymore.

During Thursday's joint practice with the Cleveland Browns at training camp, Campbell was not always just playing at inside linebacker. NBC Sports' Dave Zangaro shared where Campbell was lining up throughout the workout.

"While Jihaad Campbell hasn’t gotten reps as a pure edge rusher in team drills, the Eagles were walking him up to the line like an overhang player frequently on Thursday.
