The Buffalo Bills may have found their next defensive star after rookie Landon Jackson showcased his elite talent against one of college football’s best offensive tackles.

The Buffalo Bills selected Arkansas EDGE rusher Landon Jackson in the 3rd round of the NFL draft. One former NFL player-turned-analyst believes he could start right away. The Buffalo Bills needed to add some dynamic youth to their EDGE rusher room. The selection of Landon Jackson with the 72nd pick in the NFL Draft accomplished the goal.

However, Bosa and Epenesa could be done in Buffalo after 2025, so Jackson will be expected to contribute as a rookie and build himself into a 50% snap player next season. Rousseau led the Bills at 67% and Epenesa played 55%. Paired with Rousseau, that gives the Bills two long and athletic edge rushers which can really pose problems.
