Alabama LB Jihaad Campbell, a top draft prospect, is rehabbing after shoulder surgery​

Some saying he's still not getting out of the 1st round...interesting




Campbell in the first was always interesting. Rising to our pick wouldnt have shocked me. But he could also have fallen out due to positional value and the fact there is still some projection to his game.

Gun to my head I would have slotted him somewhere between 25 and 30. He would be great value at 44 even if he misses the start of the season. Especially given Eberflus value of LB's, in particularly Mikes

Not to mention Eberflus selected one or two other top-graded LBers with 2nd round picks with Colts and Bears if I'm not mistaken. So 44 for this kid would on par for him......I don't see a team taking a chance with a 1st rounder if can't start the season.

And definitely not at 12
 
Found this regarding his surgery........
Word is he's a top target for the Bucs at 19

Jihaad Campbell, LB, Alabama

Injury Concern:
Medium

Campbell’s aforementioned labrum tear in his shoulder was discovered at Alabama’s Pro Day after he was seen walking around in a sling. The Alabama linebacker did compete in tests at the NFL combine, scoring quite well in all facets.


Campbell clearly had the surgery afterward, and most medical professionals place the recovery time for a torn labrum into two phases. The first four to six weeks are for the ligament to reattach to the shoulder, and the second four-to-six-week timetable is for re-strengthening the muscle.

Those timetables will vary depending on the severity of the injury, but most best-case scenarios require a minimum of three months for full recovery. If Campbell had surgery in March, his earliest return date would be roughly sometime in July.

That means Campbell should be ready for training camp and the start of the season. However, a shoulder injury for a linebacker isn’t exactly ideal. Campbell is a hard hitter, and linebackers take on a lot of contact in the NFL.


Overall, there’s some risk with Campbell, but it’s far from the worst injury he could have.
 
And definitely not at 12
It may not be a big deal but LBers do a lot of hitting ( Stephen Jones once called the position the most injured-prone on the field ). That should/injury won't get a real test until until live practice or preseason games. That concerns me a bit .............enough to reconsider a 1st rounder. Maybe I'm overreacting........

I wouldn't draft him at 12 of he was healthy. Maybe if we traded down, but Im very pessimistic about having opportunities to do that
 
Still young, will have a better career maybe not as long but better. He's just a great player day one.
10 year career definitely isnt a stretch. Im never as concerned about older guys on day 2 as I am day 1. Knight is probably the most likely day 2 player to be a Pro Bowl rookie
