Buffalo Bills interested in Arkansas DE Landon Jackson

The Buffalo Bills are showing strong interest in Landon Jackson, a defensive end from the University of Arkansas. Jackson is projected to be picked in the first two rounds of the upcoming 2025 NFL Draft. The Bills have 10 picks, including three in the top 62, and they usually follow a "best player available" strategy. After the first round of free agency, the Bills identified defensive tackle, cornerback, and defensive end as their main needs. They seem particularly focused on Jackson, who has seen his stock rise after a successful performance at the NFL Scouting Combine. Mock drafts suggest he could be selected in the late first or early second round. Jackson mentioned that he has spoken with the Bills eight times. He said, “The Bills are a team I’ve talked to a lot.” In total, he has communicated with about 25 teams, with several conversations taking place with 15 of them. The Bills and the Washington Commanders are the two teams that have shown the most interest as both draft near the end of the first round. In addition to his impressive athleticism—6 feet 6 inches tall and weighing 267 pounds, with a 4.68-second 40-yard dash and a 40.5-inch vertical jump—Jackson has also performed well on the field. In his last two seasons with the Razorbacks, he recorded 93 tackles, including 24 tackles for a loss, and 13 sacks.
