Teams See Late Round 1 Possible for Jack Campbell

Months ago, team sources told WalterFootball.com that Iowa linebacker Jack Campbell could be a late first-round pick if he worked out well before the 2023 NFL Draft. While Campbell did not set the combine on fire with his 40, he ended up performing very well in the field drills, and sources from six different teams texted today that they think Campbell is definitely in the running to be a late first-round pick in the the 2023 NFL Draft.

"[Late 1st] would make sense to me," said an AFC director of player personnel. "He's the best pure inside linebacker in my mind, so I can see him in Round 1."

Campbell put up the fastest three-cone drill time of any linebacker and moved well in the field drills.

"He didn't run real fast - in the 40 -, but looked great in the field," said an area scout. "He should go late 1 or early 2 in this draft."

In the final months, Campbell could continue to rise as coaches get more involved in the draft process. Campbell is known to be smart and a hard worker. With Campbell being perhaps the top inside linebacker, he stands a real shot at being selected on the opening night of the 2023 NFL Draft.
