    Default skins.com " QB Campbell agrees to terms"

    Rookie quarterback Jason Campbell has agreed to terms with the Redskins, the team announced on Monday evening. Campbell was the Redskins' second of two first-round picks in last April's NFL Draft.
    The contract will be official on Tuesday morning. Campbell is expected to be at Redskins Park and on the field for the team's second day of training camp practices.

    With Campbell on board, the Redskins have only one other rookie to sign: the team's other first-round pick, cornerback Carlos Rogers.

    Campbell's signing was anticipated to happen quickly on Monday because rookie quarterback Aaron Rodgers signed his deal with Green Bay earlier in the day. Rodgers was selected by the Packers one spot ahead of Campbell.

    Campbell was selected by the Redskins with the 25th pick in the first round of the April 23 draft.

    Campbell is a very athletic quarterback and is a quick learner, as shown by his ability to play under four different offensive coordinators during his four seasons with the Auburn Tigers.

    Campbell, 6-4 and 223 pounds, is a very experienced quarterback playing in 46 games and starting 39 of them. He finished his career completing 64.6 percent of his passes for 7,299 yards, 45 touchdowns and only 24 interceptions. Campbell was also an effective runner from the quarterback positions, rushing for eight touchdowns during his time at Auburn.

    In 2004, Campbell had his most productive season in leading the Tigers to the SEC Championship and a win in the Sugar Bowl. He finished the season with 2,700 yards passing, 20 touchdowns and 7 interceptions. He was named the SEC Offensive Player of the Year by the league's coaches and Associated Press, and was a first team All-SEC selection.


    It's good to here. It's going to be interesting to see him throwing in practice

    Excellent to hear. The more work he gets, the better it is for the team.

    You do need to add a link though.

    Glad to see that he signed, I saw Gibbs on NBC4 last night with George Michael and Sonny, He said that he was surprised taht it was taking so long. So I guess that it hadn't happened yet (@630 pm). He also looked like he was having a hard time breathing. Did anyone else see that?
    Being Airborne isn't about just being crazy enough to jump out of a plane. It's an attitude that doesn't go away whether your 18 or 80. We are like a college fraternity- the hazing is our training, but our bond isn't Greek Letters, its courage and blood symbolized by silver wings.

    I can't detach the thought of Randle Cunningham whenever I here Jason Campbell’s name.

    Campbell is a much more accurate thrower than Cunningham. Campbell actually using the Spurrier method of throwing with the ball up high before release. Cunningham had a long wind-up and was a terrible screen/short pass thrower.

    I noticed Gibbs was breathing heavily. I assumed it was because he ran to the set since he was a few seconds late.
