Brian Branch Backs Jihaad Campbell as Lions’ Top Draft Target
The Detroit Lions are gearing up for the 2025 NFL Draft, looking to build on their impressive 15-2 season and make a deeper playoff run. While the team has key decisions to make, one of their young stars has weighed in on who should be their next addition.
Pro Bowl defensive back Brian Branch took to social media to endorse Alabama linebacker Jihaad Campbell as an ideal fit for Detroit’s defense. Having played alongside Campbell in college, Branch sees him as a perfect addition to the Lions’ aggressive, playmaking unit. Given GM Brad Holmes’ track record of drafting Alabama players, it wouldn’t be a surprise if Campbell is on Detroit’s radar with the No. 28 pick. A tackling machine with elite instincts, he could help solidify the Lions’ linebacker corps for years to come.
