Buffalo Bills Select A.J. Epenesa in 2020 NFL Draft

The Buffalo Bills selected A.J. Epenesa as the 54th overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. Epenesa, a defensive end from Iowa, has drawn mixed opinions regarding his athleticism, which some consider average.

Despite not standing out in traditional athletic metrics, Epenesa demonstrated significant effectiveness on the field, recording four sacks and multiple pressures in the games analyzed. His signature move, the swiper, allows him to evade offensive linemen effectively, complemented by a strong long-arm technique.

Concerns remain about his versatility, as he primarily played on the right side of the line. However, his potential as a productive pass rusher is recognized, with expectations that he could develop into a double-digit sack player in the NFL.
