Alabama linebacker Jihaad Campbell is a projected first-round pick for the upcoming NFL Draft. The New Jersey native will have pre-draft interviews with quite a few teams. On Wednesday, The Detroit Times reported that Campbell met with the Detroit Lions earlier this week.
The Lions are coming off of one of the best seasons in franchise history in 2024. The Lions finished the regular season with a 15-2 record and were the No. 1 seed in the NFC during the postseason. They lost in the divisional round to the Washington Commanders.
Needless to say, the addition of Campbell would further solidify the Lions odds of making it further in the playoffs in the future.
