The defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles are witnessing a newcomer attempting to shake up the roster. Jihaad Campbell is making the case to earn immediate playing time. All upon his injury return.

The Birds hadn't selected a true linebacker whom they intended to play at the second level in the first round of any draft since 1979. Jerry Robinson was the selection way back then, and please don't take that as shade thrown in Nolan Smith's direction. Though listed as a linebacker, we all know his role is to serve as more of a pass rusher.

At 6-foot-3, 235 pounds, Jihaad Campbell towers over the running backs he matches up against in man coverage. But don’t mistake his size for a lack of speed. Just ask AJ Dillon, one of the newest faces in the running backs room.
