Bills selected TCU LB Kaleb Elarms-Orr with the No. 126 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.
Elarms-Orr (6’2/234) was a volume-driven production engine for TCU, piling up 130 tackles with a strong 68.2 percent run-stop share while adding 10 havoc plays, 8 TFLs and 4 sacks as an every-down outside linebacker. His 91.5 percent tackle rate underscores reliable finishing despite aggressive angles, though his pursuit style can create volatility when forced to redirect late. Elarms-Orr also flashed legitimate blitz value, generating 21 pressures on 123 rushes (17.1 percent pressure rate) with a 20.0 percent third-down pressure rate, highlighting his timing and burst as a rusher. He wins with sideline-to-sideline range and closing speed, triggering quickly downhill and using fluid change-of-direction ability to track ball carriers in space. Athletically, Elarms-Orr checks the boxes with a 9.33 RAS, including elite speed (4.47s forty, 98th%) and explosion (40" vertical, 98th-percentile), though his agility testing (4.41 shuttle, 7.10 three-cone) lands closer to average. His biggest hurdle remains processing, as inconsistent key recognition and overaggressive pursuit angles can lead to missed fits and coverage lapses. Elarms-Orr projects as a sub-package WILL linebacker and core special teamer early, with upside to develop into a starting weakside option if his instincts and play recognition catch up to his high-end athletic traits.
