NFL free agency 2022: Best linebackers available

1. De’Vondre Campbell

De’Vondre Campbell has been in the NFL for six seasons and has played for three different teams. However, he’s been a very productive member of each franchise he’s represented and he’s definitely a good candidate to help improve any defense that needs a talented and experienced linebacker.

Campbell started his NFL career with the Atlanta Falcons back in 2016. During the four seasons he played for the Falcons, Campbell played in 59 games and started in all but five of them. In that time, the linebacker tallied an impressive 363 tackles, 129 of which came during the 2019 season, his final with the Falcons.

After making the move out west to play for the Arizona Cardinals for the 2020 season, Campbell found success there as well. Though not to the level of what he had the season before, Campbell still recorded 99 tackles and a couple sacks.

Following that season with the Cardinals, Campbell had a phenomenal year with the Green Bay Packers. The Packers have long struggled to have some consistency on defense and Campbell helped to provide that. He recorded 146 tackles, two interceptions, and two sacks. Campbell definitely made a different for Green Bay’s defense.

Now the 28-year-old linebacker can figure out what’s next for his career. He’s experienced. talented, has plenty of upside, and hasn’t missed much playing time. Campbell is worth taking a look at if your team needs a linebacker.
