Local Eagles’ Fan Shares His Journey to the NFL Draft

Isiah Perkins, a cornerback out of small town in South Jersey, began his journey to the NFL early. Being in a family that bled football, the 2015 graduate had dreams of playing in the NFL since day one.

“I started playing football at the age of five,” Perkins mentioned. “Growing up I played three sports: football, basketball, and baseball. My dad played college football at Cheyney University in Pennsylvania, so I always had a passion for the game. I knew going into high school that if I stayed focused, I could really elevate my game and play at the division one level.
