Buffalo snags TCU's dynamic linebacker Kaleb Elarms-Orr. His impressive combine performance and game-changing skills offer a new dimension to the Bills' defense.
The Buffalo Bills have long been on the cusp of a Super Bowl.
Maybe a TCU product can help them get there.
OK, it's a long way from here to there. But at the NFL Scouting Combine, TCU linebacker Kaleb Elarms-Orr was impressive, just as he'd been on the field in Fort Worth.
And the Bills - so often thought of as an offense-first team due to QB Josh Allen's brilliance - can always use help on the other side of the ball.
So ... with the 126th overall pick of the 2026 NFL Draft, off a Horned Frog shuffles to Buffalo.
With the Horned Frogs last season, Elarms-Orr recorded 130 total tackles and 4.0 sacks - both massive career-highs.
Last season was the Hayward, California native's second in Fort Worth. He spent the 2023 season with the Cal Golden Bears. This breakout season saw him lead the team in tackles and add 11 tackles for loss en route to earning First Team All-Big 12 honors.
His final chapter with TCU was perhaps one of his most impressive. It helped him cap a collegiate career by showcasing the skills that will translate to the professional game.
Elarms-Orr was the Defensive MVP in the Horned Frogs' Alamo Bowl win over USC in San Antonio. He had a team-high 11 tackles and 1.5 tackles for loss.
The former Horned Frog explained what he believes best sets him up for success in the NFL when he met with media at the Combine.
"I'm smart, I'm fast, I'm physical, athletic, sideline to sideline," Elarms-Orr said. "I'm an all-around player ... I feel like I can do everything, just from a blitzing, coverage, run game, leadership standpoint. I feel like I can do it all."
The Buffalo Bills have taken notice.
