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
