Rookie quarterback Jason Campbell has agreed to terms with the Commanders, the team announced on Monday evening. Campbell was the Commanders' second of two first-round picks in last April's NFL Draft.
The contract will be official on Tuesday morning. Campbell is expected to be at Commanders Park and on the field for the team's second day of training camp practices.
With Campbell on board, the Commanders have only one other rookie to sign: the team's other first-round pick, cornerback Carlos Rogers.
Campbell's signing was anticipated to happen quickly on Monday because rookie quarterback Aaron Rodgers signed his deal with Green Bay earlier in the day. Rodgers was selected by the Packers one spot ahead of Campbell.
Campbell was selected by the Commanders with the 25th pick in the first round of the April 23 draft.
Campbell is a very athletic quarterback and is a quick learner, as shown by his ability to play under four different offensive coordinators during his four seasons with the Auburn Tigers.
Campbell, 6-4 and 223 pounds, is a very experienced quarterback playing in 46 games and starting 39 of them. He finished his career completing 64.6 percent of his passes for 7,299 yards, 45 touchdowns and only 24 interceptions. Campbell was also an effective runner from the quarterback positions, rushing for eight touchdowns during his time at Auburn.
In 2004, Campbell had his most productive season in leading the Tigers to the SEC Championship and a win in the Sugar Bowl. He finished the season with 2,700 yards passing, 20 touchdowns and 7 interceptions. He was named the SEC Offensive Player of the Year by the league's coaches and Associated Press, and was a first team All-SEC selection.
