A Rumblings report on rookie defensive end Darryl Johnson Jr.

Heading into the 2019 NFL Draft, the Buffalo Bills had seemingly set themselves up well to draft the best player available. If the cards came up defense, an edge rusher to pair opposite Jerry Hughes seemed like a strong possibility. Well the Bills landed their defensive end, in round seven with pick number eleven. Darryl Johnson Jr. was the selection, a junior hailing from North Carolina A&T. A textbook small school, it was notable that Johnson being drafted made it the third year in a row that a player from his school was picked via the draft.
