I believe you'd be able to benefit from it, I don't see anything on the feat that specifically prohibits using other types of unarmed jaw attacks.
Though unarmed attacks that are not jaw based wouldn't benefit.
thats what i was thinking; a friend of mine was arguing it has to be the specific jaw attack associated with the perks, like listing out jaws (werecrocodile), jaws (dragon heritage), jaws (ratfolk) and theyre all 'different' jaws that only work with the 'correct' perks. I couldn't find anything saying this, it would affect using like gorilla barbarians ape arms as a monk and other such things too and seems needlessly complex/limiting.
If that were the case, I'm sure they would've listed Draconic Aspect (Jaws) as a prerequisite instead of the more generic "Jaws Unarmed Attack"

Looking at the new dragonblood stuff in the Codex, and I'm curious if you can use natural weapons from other sources to enable feats? ie; if I'm a werecrocodile and grapple someone with my bite, can I benefit from Energize Bite or does it have to specifically be the dragonblood's heritage jaws? Same question can be applied to claws, tails, wings, etc.
Unless something calls for a specific attack, any of the required type will work. Energize Bite asks for a Jaw attack only so any Jaw attack works.
For an instance with requirements, look at Lizardfolk Envenom Fangs feat. It requires Iruxi Armaments even if they somehow got Fangs from someplace else, they still need the feat that grants unarmed attacks [though technically you could opt to not take Fang from Iruxi Armaments if you had Fang already and pick another unarmed attack].
Unless something calls for a specific attack, any of the required type will work.
Agreed. It depends on the upgrade feat.
Some feats specify a particular attack that they upgrade. You have to use that attack to get the benefits.
Some feats require a particular type of attack or particular body part for the attack. Those work with any unarmed attacks that meet the type requirements.
And some feats work with any unarmed attack.
