There's something about validation, about seeing hard work pay off. There's nothing like seeing that dream materialize. That looks different for all of us. Some find that in the birth of a new child or in a new job. For ten NCAA stars selected by the Philadelphia Eagles, that dream came true when they received a phone call from Howie Roseman, Nick Sirianni, and Jeffrey Lurie.
Here's the thing. As great as all of that is, those guys are just getting started. There's a long way to go before they reach NFL stardom or the first game of their professional lives. First, they are attending rookie minicamp (May 2-3) before organized team activities come a few weeks later (May 27-28, May 30, June 2-3, June 5).
Philly's ten-man 2025 NFL Draft class has received rave reviews. The first day of camp is like the first day of school. They signed contracts and received jersey numbers. It's time to go shopping. It's time to add more Eagles paraphernalia to the closet.
Jersey numbers for each Eagles rookie as the 2025 draft class signs its deals.
Well, we knew Jihaad Campbell wouldn't wear the Number 11 jersey as he did in college because the white, black, Midnight Green, and kelly green jerseys belonged to A.J. Brown. Jihaad gets a new groove though and a new look. Here are the jersey numbers of each Eagles rookie.
Expect these to change at some point. As you can see, Mac McWilliams and Kelee Ringo both own a Number 22 jersey, and no one expects Jihaad to stick with '30'.
- Jihaad Campbell - 30
- Drew Mukuba - 24
- Ty Robinson - 95
- Mac McWilliams - 22
- Smael Mondon Jr. - 42
- Drew Kendall - 66
- Kyle McCord - 19
- Myles Hinton - 78
- Cameron Williams - 73
- Antwaun Powell-Ryland Jr. - 93
This doesn't ready them for battle yet. It does, however, make them slightly more official. We weren't there to see them take it all in, but we're certain there are some smiling faces at the NovaCare Complex.
