Roob’s Eagles Observations: A free agent who just might be better than expected - NBCSP
9. I expect that by the middle of the season, we’ll be saying this is the best group of linebackers the Eagles have ever had. Now, Jihaad Campbell still has to do it in games, and we’re only a week and a half into training camp. And Nakobe Dean has to come back healthy at some point. But we know what Zack Baun can do, Jeremiah Trotter Jr. has made huge strides and has really taken advantage of all the 1st-team reps he’s gotten, Campbell has so much potential and Dean had a borderline Pro Bowl season before his untimely injury in the Packers playoff game. The Eagles have never had a fourth linebacker as talented as Trotter. I don’t have to remind anybody of the recent history of Eagles linebackers. It’s ugly. But Howie Roseman has put together a loaded group here and even a guy like rookie 5th-round pick Smael Mondon has looked good at camp. They’ve had some terrific linebackers occasionally along the way. Maxie Baughan and Chuck Bednarik from 1960 through 1962, Bill Bergey, John Bunting and Frank LeMaster from 1974 through 1980, Seth and B&E from 1987 through 1983 and Jordan Hicks, Kamu Grugier-Hill and Nigel Bradham from 2016 through 2018. But four deep? We’ll see how it goes, but this has a chance to be a really special group.
Eagles Film Review: What does the future hold for Johnny Wilson? - BGN
If the Eagles focus on developing him as big slot, where he can use his frame against smaller nickel corners and safeties, as both a pass catcher and a blocker then he might carve out a role. But if they keep forcing him to win outside against quicker corners, I’m not sure he’ll ever justify his roster spot.

Eagles linebacker Jihaad Campbell embraces his roots at his back-to-school event: ‘The Jersey pride is real’ - Inquirer
Jihaad Campbell has been here before. It‘s 2 p.m. on Saturday, a day off from Eagles training camp, and Campbell is standing near the foot of a familiar hill at Gloucester Township Community Park in Sicklerville. A backdrop separates Campbell from the hill. He’s posing for photos in front of it with families attending his back-to-school event, distributing over 500 backpacks and other school supplies to the community. Just weeks prior, Campbell was in that same spot, running up and down that hill preparing for his first NFL season
