Bills Rookie T.J. Parker Draws Early Praise as Minicamp Nears

Overview

• NFL.com’s Tom Blair ranked Parker among the top rookies with a real shot at early snaps.
• The Bills made him their first selection at No. 35 after trading down three times in the draft.
• Sal Maiorana says Parker’s traits match Jim Leonhard’s 3-4 defense.
• Bradley Chubb turns 30 this summer and his deal has no guaranteed money after Year 2, which could open future reps for a young edge.
• Parker’s 2025 Clemson output fell to 9.5 tackles for loss and five sacks from 19.5 and 11 in 2024, putting added weight on how he looks once rookie minicamp begins.
