The Eagles narrowly avoided losing their seventh-round draft pick, Keyshawn James-Newby, after waiving him only to have him clear waivers and land on the practice squad — a risky gamble that paid off. Undersized at 6’2” and 240 lbs, James-Newby slipped to the very end of the draft but dazzled scouts with his production from NAIA to FCS to Mountain West, where he led in sacks. His quick first step, smart hands, and relentless hustle made him a preseason standout — so much so that the Eagles were sweating he’d be claimed by another team. Now, with veterans potentially injured or underperforming, don’t be surprised if they bring up the rookie they feared losing most.
