Reliable rotational DL with disruptive flashes
In the 2024 season, Jacob Newsom played in four games and started two for Eastern Washington, finishing with five total tackles and 1.5 tackles for loss, including two tackles and a TFL against Drake. His profile suggests a compact, assignment-sound defensive lineman who can create occasional backfield disruption rather than a pure volume stat producer. The main appeal is reliability and a starter-capable floor; the limitation is that his current résumé is still small, so teams should view him as a useful depth-to-rotation fit with upside if his snap count grows.
