With their first pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, and at 35 overall as the third pick in Round 2, the Buffalo Bills selected edge rusher T.J. Parker out of Clemson. Parker is a player that Maxwell Owens featured in his best remaining prospects of Day 2.

Perhaps interesting is the fact that there were no confirmed pre-draft meetings between Parker and One Bills Drive. Though teams’ pre-draft interactions are hardly ever fully revealed, it’s possible that Buffalo saw a huge opportunity in being able to select Parker with the third pick in Round 2.
