A closer look at Philadelphia’s first-round pick from the 2025 NFL Draft.
With the 2025 NFL Draft over, it’s time for some film rooms on the Philadelphia Eagles’ rookie class. I will try to get to all 10 draft picks and the UDFAs over the next few weeks. Loads of scouting reports will say very similar things, so I have tried to include film clips to back up everything and I will talk about the player’s fit with the Eagles at the end of the piece. I managed to get the All22 for several rookies, but I can’t share those clips on my Twitter accounts (or I risk getting blocked), so I’ve used a few other accounts here. Let’s go!

+ He can FLY around the field When he trusts his eyes and sees it early. The speed and quickness are evident. He triggers downhill as fast as anyone.
+ Tough, instinctive, and versatile player who can play MIKE, SAM, and EDGE. He’s a physical guy who wants to hit, despite being slightly undersized.
+ He’s not a full-time EDGE defender, but he can rush the quarterback from the EDGE position. He has very good arm length and can keep offensive linemen off his chest. He has the flexibility to be able to bend the EDGE well enough to rush the quarterback in specific situations.
+ Strong tackler (7.3% missed tackle rate), strong against the run. Very physical when taking on blocks and good length to secure the tackle too.
+ Very strong in zone coverage. He can read a quarterback’s eyes and jump in front of throws. He will fit well as an underneath defender in Fangio’s zone coverage.
+ He has shown the ability to pass off receivers and understands opposing route concepts. He will fit in Fangio’s zone match system.
+ Tested like an elite athlete and tracking data suggests he’s just as fast on the field.
+ Sideline-to-sideline speed and explosiveness are obvious. He can catch up with backs as well as receivers coming across the formation.
+ His sideline-to-sideline speed enables him to navigate through traffic and chase down backs from the backside.
+ He can rush the quarterback from depth. The Eagles love to send their weak linebacker on a blitz (known as Whip), and Campbell will excel at this.
+ Led Alabama in tackles, TFLs, sacks, and forced fumbles.
+ His length is really useful in zone coverage, too, where he can step into lanes and reduce the throwing window.
- He has average instincts and play recognition. This is an area he has to develop still. His physical traits sometimes get him out of jail in college, and they won’t be able to do...
