At 6-foot-3, 235 pounds, Jihaad Campbell towers over the running backs he matches up against in man coverage. But don’t mistake his size for a lack of speed. Just ask AJ Dillon, one of the newest faces in the running backs room.

The Birds hadn't selected a true linebacker whom they intended to play at the second level in the first round of any draft since 1979.

After an off day on Sunday, the Eagles were back on the practice field Monday morning in some brutal heat for a practice that lasted 1 hour and 41 minutes. This practice included 11-on-11s, 7-on-7s, plenty of 1-on-1s and more. They were in shells and shorts on Monday and the first day of full pads will come on Tuesday.
