Eagles assign No. 11 jersey to Jihaad Campbell, breaking trends
Summary

The Philadelphia Eagles are reportedly assigning the No. 11 jersey to linebacker Jihaad Campbell. This marks a departure from the team's recent history, where that number has been associated mainly with offensive players like A.J. Brown and Carson Wentz. Campbell, a second-year player drafted 31st overall in 2025, will wear the number previously linked to high-profile exits. The Eagles have also been known to shelve significant jersey numbers before reassigning them, further highlighting the significance of this decision. Campbell is seen as a foundational piece of the defense, indicating the team’s confidence in his potential.
