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.

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.

Jihaad Campbell was sidelined earlier this year as he recovers from a shoulder injury, but he hasn't missed any of training camp so far.
