Alabama has put many good players into the NFL over the years on the defensive side of the ball, and this year looks to be no different. One of those talented Alabama defensive players is Jihaad Campbell, who had a really good year for the Crimson Tide. He finished last season with 119 tackles, 5 sacks and 2 forced fumbles.
NFL teams and personnel are all out looking for guys that they hope can be a part of a team that eventually a part of a Super Bowl run.
Daniel Jeremiah, a former NFL scout who works for the NFL Network, thinks Campbell could be the most dynamic pass rusher in the class.
Is @AlabamaFTBL linebacker @RealJihaadC the best dynamic rusher in this year's Draft class? @MoveTheSticks breaks it down ??: 2025 #NFLDraft – April 24-26 on NFLN/ESPN/ABC?: Stream on @NFLPlus pic.twitter.com/ndyaWZNfut
— NFL (@NFL) April 6, 2025“He ran an impressive 4.52 40 at the NFL combine and he is a player who was recruited as an edge rusher in high school,” Jeremiah said. “He has big time speed and lateral range. He has the ability to thump off blocks and make plays inside the box. He is going to also be given some opportunities to rush off the end, and that is what gets me really excited about his game.”
One knock on him right now is that he isn’t that big of guy, and would be considered undersized for the pass rush position. However, Jeremiah thinks that while he may not have the ideal weight of pass rusher right now, he thinks he can add some weight to his frame.
“While he is only 235 pounds he does have the frame to add some weight and I would not be surprised to see if some teams do that to make him a full-time rusher,” Jeremiah said. “There is a lot to love about his versatility.”
The 2025 NFL Draft is less than 3 weeks away, and teams are starting to really hone in what guys they like. There is too much upside for teams to not be interested in Campbell, and don’t be surprised if he hears his name called early in Round 1 on April 24 in Green Bay.
