Eagles selected New Mexico EDGE Keyshawn James-Newby with the No. 252 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

25 April 2026

James-Newby (6'2/238) spent a three seasons at Montana Tech and another two at Idaho, an FCS program. He racked up 10.5 sacks in his second season at Idaho alone and earned FCS All-American Honors. He used his final year of eligibility to transfer to New Mexico, where he tallied another nine sacks and 15 TFLs. James-Newby is considerably undersized and isn’t a force against the run even in the Mountain West. The Eagles won’t give him many reps against the run, but he could be a speedy pass-rush specialist for the team.
