Press Release: Eagles Drafts New Jersey Stars in 2025 NFL Draft
In a heartwarming turn of events during the 2025 NFL Draft, the Philadelphia Eagles focused on homegrown talent, selecting several players with ties to New Jersey. The highlight came in the first round when the Eagles picked linebacker Jihaad Campbell, who hails from Erial, New Jersey, having played at Timber Creek Regional before finishing his high school career at IMG Academy.
On Day Three of the draft, the Eagles added quarterback Kyle McCord in the sixth round. A standout from Syracuse, McCord not only grew up in Mount Laurel but also attended Saint Joseph’s Prep in Philadelphia, making him a local favorite.
This selection continues the Eagles’ trend of welcoming local talent into their ranks, following last season’s backup quarterback Kenny Pickett, an Ocean Township High School grad. Historically, 50 New Jersey high school graduates have suited up for the Eagles, emphasizing the state’s rich football legacy.
As the Eagles build their roster, fans are eager to see these New Jersey natives chase their NFL dreams while donning the iconic green and white.
