Booger McFarland On Board With Bucs Drafting Jihaad Campbell
March 31st, 2025
Wanted by ex-Bucs defender.
If Booger McFarland is talking Bucs defense, Joe is listening.
Even though McFarland, who still lives locally in the Tampa Bay area, now works for Disney/ABC/BSPN, that doesn’t mean he doesn’t keep up and in touch with what is going on at One Buc Palace.
McFarland still very has Bucs’ red flowing through is veins.
And since McFarland is primarily a college football analyst for the four-letter, he pays rapt attention to the SEC since the four-letter owns the conference’s TV rights.
And that means McFarland watches a lot of Jihaad Campbell, the stud Alabama linebacker. Well, at least whenever McFarland isn’t watching his beloved LSU.
So on Twitter yesterday, one of McFarland’s colleges, Mina Kimes, posted a video highlight of Campbell. She’s obviously impressed.
And so too is McFarland who retweeted Kimes’ video with the comment, “Would so love to see him with Todd Bowles.”
So would Joe.
Funny thing is, Joe is a bit spooked by his shoulder injury. How much time is he going to miss with this mysterious surgery? Underwear football and training camp are vital for rookies as they make the transition from college to the NFL.
But you know what? Joe has been looking around and guys Joe trusts who study the draft don’t seem to be one bit spooked by Campbell’s injury and surgery.
If those guys aren’t scared off, and clearly McFarland isn’t scared off, maybe Joe shouldn’t be?
Would so love to see him with Todd Bowles https://t.co/fsZUb707cA
