The Eagles somehow landed Alabama linebacker Jihaad Campbell with the No. 31 overall pick in the NFL Draft, and the incoming rookie couldn’t be more excited to get back to Philadelphia. He spoke to reporters shortly after hearing his name called and talked about his role in the defense, how his shoulder is recovering from surgery, and more.
Campbell was quick to admit that he grew up an Eagles fan, especially considering he was raised 30 minutes from Philadelphia. When asked about some of his favorite former players, he named LeSean McCoy, Brandon Graham, Michael Vick, DeSean Jackson, and Jeremy Maclin.
