Timber Creek Regional High School knows what type of player and person the Eagles are getting in Jihaad Campbell.

Eagles first-round draft pick Jihaad Campbell grew up in Gloucester Township, New Jersey, and played his first three years of high school football at Timber Creek. His coaches are ecstatic to see him coming home.

Who says the Eagles don’t value linebackers? In a year where they watched Zack Baun go from unheralded edge rusher into an All-Pro off-ball linebacker and rewarded him with a $51 million deal, the Eagles drafted Alabama linebacker and South Jersey native Jihaad Campbell 31st overall with the penultimate pick of the NFL draft’s first round Thursday night.
