2026 Outlook
Edge rusher for the Buffalo Bills selected at No. 35 overall after the team traded out of the first round. Early season through Week 3 has been quiet—just 40 snaps played (season-low 9 in Week 3), one pressure recorded, zero sacks. The Bills' strong offense has carried the team so far, limiting opportunities for the pass-rush rotation. Parker's elevated draft status (35th overall) makes the lack of production noteworthy, though early-season snap counts aren't predictive of long-term impact for a young pass rusher.
