It's April 24th. You're listening to NFL News today, AI-powered football coverage. I'm Corey with the story. Buffalo Bills just snag Clemson defensive N.T.J. Parker with a 35th pick in the second round of the 2026 NFL draft. He's the third tiger taken this year, right after First Rounder's Blake Miller and Peter Woods keeping Clemson's draft streak hot. Parker stacked up solid numbers over 39 college games, with 144 tackles, 41 and a half tackles for loss, and 21 and a half sacks. He stood out by forcing six fumbles and recovering six more, landing him in the top 10 for career sacks at Clemson. His sophomore year in 2024 was strafe fire, dropping 64 tackles, 19 and a half for loss, 11 sacks and a school record six force fumbles. That got him all American nods and marked him as one of the nation's top disruptors. The 2025 season saw his stats dip a bit, but he bounced back huge in the finale against
South Carolina with three sacks, several tackles for loss and a fumble recovery. That sealed his spot in Clemson's top 10 for career sacks. Now Parker's off to Buffalo, ready to bring that backfield chaos to the pros and build on his college foundation.
