Iowa defensive end A.J. Epenesa is headed to Buffalo Bills as the No. 54 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.
Despite a fall much later into the 2nd round than most would have predicted, Epenesa finds himself in a great spot on a team familiar with Hawkeye defenders. Buffalo has been home to defensive back Micah Hyde the last three seasons.
While it was the second round, Epenesa was the first pick overall in 2020 for the Bills.
A highly heralded recruit coming into Iowa, Epenesa had three great years wearing the black and gold before forgoing his senior season, and being selected in the first round of the NFL Draft speaks for itself.
