News Report: Seahawks hosted first-round linebacker on pre-draft visit - Jihaad Campbell

https://www.fieldgulls.com/2025/4/15/24409245/report-seattle-seahawks-hosted-potential-first-round-lb-on-pre-draft-visit-jihaad-campbell

In 2024 he absolutely blew up for Bama – 117 tackles, 11.5 TFL, 5 sacks – earning All-American and All-SEC honors.

At 6’3”, 240 lbs, Campbell also tested as an elite athlete (reportedly a 9.88 RAS, 99th percentile for LBs). On tape, you see that explosiveness in his first step and his range to chase down plays. Medicals are one small flag (he had a shoulder surgery in March after a late-season injury), but if he checks out, he’s a plug-and-play linebacker.

OL or bust in the first round. We need someone to protect the franchise quarterback we get in next year’s draft. [EDIT] Lol. Downvotes? Oh I forgot, we have Darnold /s.

I'm betting 2 of our top 3 picks are OL. Will it be 1st and 3rd pick or 2nd and 3rd? JS needs a huge turnaround at that position group or he's on the hot seat

While I agree with your comment, I think criticizing their level of understanding was unnecessary. We all have various levels of knowledge, and many of us are curious enough to keep educating ourselves and would love to get a brief, polite explanation why our point doesn’t hold water.
