Buffalo, NY – July 7, 2025

Landon Jackson, the Buffalo Bills’ promising rookie edge rusher, recently expressed heartfelt gratitude to the team for providing him with a life-changing opportunity amid historic floods in his home state of Texas. Born in Texarkana, Texas, Jackson revealed that signing early with the Bills not only launched his professional career but also helped protect his family from the devastating natural disaster.

“I was fortunate to sign early with the Bills, which gave me the money to buy a new home in Buffalo and escape the historic flooding back home. I pray for everyone in Texas to stay safe,” Jackson shared.

Jackson’s college career at LSU and Arkansas was marked by impressive stats over 42 games, including 16 sacks, 26.5 tackles for loss, and 116 total tackles. He earned second-team All-SEC honors in 2024 after a standout senior season with 6.5 sacks and 9.5 tackles for loss. Standing 6’6” and weighing 264 pounds, Jackson also ranked fifth in the SEC with 20 run stops over two years.

Selected in the third round, 72nd overall, after a trade-up with the Chicago Bears, Jackson is expected to serve as a rotational edge rusher behind stars Joey Bosa and Greg Rousseau. Buffalo’s General Manager Brandon Beane praised Jackson for his “high character” and run defense capabilities, seeing him as a valuable addition to the team’s pass-rush rotation.

Though not expected to start immediately, Jackson’s size, length, and explosive play style make him a strong candidate for future growth into a starting role. He is currently focused on improving his ability to defend against down blocks as he adapts to the NFL level.

As the Bills prepare for the 2025 season, fans and analysts alike are excited to see how Jackson’s unique combination of talent and resilience will contribute to the team’s defensive strength and inspire others facing adversity.
