Jack Campbell is into preparations for the upcoming 2023 NFL draft and the question awaiting fans of the Iowa Hawkeyes, NFL teams, and draft analysts is where he ultimately ends up calling home. There are some mixed thoughts on how high Campbell will go, but one trend that seems to be growing is keeping him in the black and gold.
One of the all-time great linebackers in a long line of great ones at Iowa, Campbell has all of the ability in the world to anchor an NFL defense down for the next decade with his size, speed, intelligence, and leadership.
As a member of the Hawkeyes, Campbell recorded 305 tackles, 13.5 tackles for loss, 15 pass deflections, and five interceptions. His career at Iowa speaks for itself. Being named a unanimous All-American and winning the Dick Butkus Award as the nation’s best linebacker doesn’t happen by accident.
Here is a roundup of a handful of potential landing spots along with where it is believed Campbell is selected in the NFL draft.

Selection: Pittsburgh Steelers with pick No. 49 in the second round
With pick No. 49 in the draft, The Wright Way Network’s Marissa Myers has the Pittsburgh Steelers selecting Jack Campbell and keeping him in his favorite black and gold colors.
Devin Bush is a free agent and if he is not brought back, Pittsburgh needs another linebacker next to Myles Jack that can start. Jack Campbell plays with a physical mindset, securely wrapping up tackles and forcing the ball carrier back. Campbell also has the speed to cover from sideline-to-sideline. He has excelled on blitzes as well, accumulating 32 pressures over his career. In coverage, he takes good angles, has good eye discipline, and understands spacing. Overall, Campbell has the ability to start day one and be reliable to hold things down in the middle of the field. – Myers, TWSN
