The Cincinnati Bengals are gearing up for a big weekend in Green Bay, and it seems they’ll be leaning on defense to shape their draft class. While defensive linemen have been the focal point of conversations around their pick at No. 17, one other position may make its way into the discussion.
Star Alabama linebacker Jihaad Campbell was once considered a top-10 pick and one of the best overall talents in the class, but an unfortunate labrum injury has given some teams pause when it comes to selecting him. Sometimes, the blessing and curse of picking in the middle of the draft is making tough decisions on blue-chip prospects with injury concerns right as they’re entering the league.
