Yet another former Alabama football player is headed to Philadelphia.

The Eagles took Alabama linebacker Jihaad Campbell with the 31st overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft on Thursday night in Green Bay. Philadelphia traded up one spot with the Kansas City Chiefs to make the pick.

Campbell became the second Alabama player to be drafted in the first round Thursday. He joined Crimson Tide guard Tyler Booker, whom the Cowboys selected 12th overall.

Campbell joins Crimson Tide alumni such as DeVonta Smith, Jalen Hurts, Byron Young and more with the Eagles.

Campbell spent the past three seasons playing for the Crimson Tide, including the past two as a starter. He became one of the most explosive and dominant defenders on the roster, tallying 117 tackles in 2024. That ranked eighth all time for an Alabama player in a single season.

His efforts in 2025 earned him second team All-America honors from the Football Writers Association of America.

Campbell also tallied five sacks this past season. Originally recruited as an edge rusher, Campbell became a player the Crimson Tide could use off the ball in the middle of the defense and off the edge. His versatility made him a strategic piece for defensive coordinator Kane Wommack to deploy. Campbell was disruptive in general, tallying two passes defensed, two forced fumbles and one interception in 2024. Campbell bought into Wommack’s emphasis on getting takeaways.

“That changes the whole narrative of the game,” Campbell said in November. “That gets the offense on the field to score points. That’s football right there. That shows grit. That shows toughness.”

The 6-3, 244-pound linebacker is from Erial, New Jersey but played for IMG Academy in high school. Originally a Nick Saban recruit, Campbell was a five-star prospect and the No. 21 player overall in the 2022 recruiting class, per the 247Sports Composite.

“I feel as though I’m Mr. Can Do it All,” Campbell said at the NFL scouting combine. “I’m a Swiss Army Knife as they say. I can blitz through the A-gap, I can come off the edge. Play middle runner, Tampa 2. I can drop strong, hook, curl, mash, whatever you want me to do. I can play man-to-man on the receiver, tight end, running back, anything.”
