Life often isn't fair but you won't find a woe-is-me mentality from Eagles cornerback Zach McPhearson, who was back in the area Friday to host his second annual 7-on-7 Summer Classic.
South Jersey high schools Millville, Pleasantville, Eastside, and Camden Catholic sharpened their skills for their upcoming seasons under the tutelage of McPhearson in Voorhees, N.J. His teammate and friend Milton Williams was also supposed to host the classic but flight issues prevented that.
McPhearson and Williams have become good friends after entering the NFL with the Eagles in the same 2021 draft class.
Both players are in different stages of their careers, though. Williams is entering his contract year after being selected in the third round of the 2021 process as a penciled-in starter and an Achilles injury has McPhearson, a 2021 fourth-rounder, fighting for his Eagles' life.
