A.J. Epenesa, the former Edwardsville High five-star recruit, spent the last three years chasing Big Ten quarterbacks. Now he’s coming after the AFC East.
The Buffalo Bills selected the former Iowa Hawkeye defensive end in the second round of the NFL draft Friday night with the 54th pick overall, a day later than most figured the two-time All-Big Ten player would hear his name called.
Epenesa has never been to Buffalo, but he’s already gotten up close and personal with his new quarterback: Bills starter Josh Allen was the first player Epenesa sacked in his first college game in 2017.
