Quarterback Kyle McCord, the other South Jersey player the Eagles drafted, was on the field as a full participant Friday. McCord, in fact, was the only quarterback in the camp and he worked with Eagles first-year QB coach Scott Loefler while the team went through its stretching exercises at the start of practice.

The Eagles moved up in the 2025 NFL draft and selected Alabama linebacker Jihaad Campbell, a South Jersey native, with the 31st overall pick.

Eagles first-round linebacker Jihaad Campbell watched from the sidelines with a shoulder injury as the team commenced the first practice of a two-day rookie minicamp Friday. Wearing No. 30, the former Alabama standout went through stretches with the team without a helmet before watching individual drills during the portion of practice open to the media.
