Bills selected Penn State DT Zane Durant with the No. 181 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.
Durant (6’1/290) is a classic leverage-and-juice interior disruptor whose elite 9.28 RAS is driven by rare speed metrics and explosive lower-body traits that translate to consistent backfield penetration. Despite an undersized frame, Durant posted 26 tackles with 9 havoc plays, 6 TFL and 4 sacks while generating 16 pressures on 230 rushes (7% pressure rate), flashing the ability to win early in reps. Durant wins with first-step quickness, natural leverage and violent hands, allowing him to slip blocks and create interior chaos before linemen can anchor. However, his lack of size and length shows up against power, where he can get washed or lose his base when he doesn’t win instantly, limiting his consistency snap-to-snap.
