Jihaad Campbell, who has started the majority of the past two seasons as a Crimson Tide linebacker, was selected with the No. 31 overall pick of the 2025 NFL draft by the Philadelphia Eagles, which traded up one spot to secure the Alabama defender.

Alabama had nine players invited to the 2025 NFL Combine and has two other players hoping to be selected from April 24-26. Quarterback Jalen Milroe, offensive guard Tyler Booker and linebacker Jihaad Campbell are at the draft in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

The former Crimson Tide coach, who coached Milroe in three of his four seasons at Alabama and is now covering the NFL draft on ABC, applauded and shook his head. And with tears in his eyes, Saban broke down what the Seahawks were getting.
