The Buffalo Bills have added major firepower to their defensive front by drafting Arkansas defensive end Landon Jackson with the 72nd overall pick in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft. Known for his towering 6’6″ frame and relentless motor, Jackson is set to wear the iconic #94 jersey as he brings his SEC-hardened grit to Buffalo.
During his time at Arkansas, Jackson racked up 116 tackles, 26.5 tackles for loss, and 16 sacks. He finished his final college season leading the Razorbacks with 6.5 sacks and was named second-team All-SEC.
At the NFL Combine, Jackson turned heads with a blazing 4.65-second 40-yard dash and a 40.5-inch vertical jump — elite numbers that ranked him second among defensive ends and cemented his status as a top-tier athlete.
Jackson has drawn comparisons to NFL star Maxx Crosby and says he hopes to model his career after the Raiders’ standout. “I’m just getting started,” Jackson told reporters. “I’m bringing everything I’ve got to Buffalo.”
With this pick, the Bills continue their defensive rebuild, having already added cornerback Maxwell Hairston and defensive tackle T.J. Sanders. Jackson is expected to compete for early snaps and make an immediate impact.
Buffalo fans can expect high energy, edge-setting power, and a hunger to prove himself — all wrapped in the jersey number made famous by past Bills legends. The #94 is back, and Landon Jackson is ready to own it.
