Eagles general manager Howie Roseman has created quite the name for himself, building a powerhouse franchise in last year’s offseason — signing former New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley, and transforming the Eagles defense with draft picks Cooper DeJean and Quinyon Mitchell.

When you’re the champion and you draft well, you’re rewarded. The Eagles could use a little more second-level punch, and Howie Roseman saw Campbell as an instant playmaker. So, Philadelphia traded up one spot with Kansas City (tacking on pick No. 164) and landed Brugler’s 14th-ranked prospect.

One of the premier linebackers in this year's class has been selected as the Philadelphia Eagles drafted Jihaad Campbell with the No. 31st pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Campbell is now penciled in to play a huge role in the Eagles' defense.
