- Team: BUF (Buffalo Bills)

2026 Outlook
Kaleb Elarms-Orr was selected by the Buffalo Bills in the 2026 NFL Draft as a 4th-round pick. The rookie is competing with fourth-year veteran Dorian Williams for the starting linebacker role in a new defensive scheme under Jim Leonhard (DC, formerly Denver Broncos). Elarms-Orr offers high athletic upside and three-down coverage capability from his college film at TCU and California. In his final three college seasons (47 games), he posted 276 tackles (135 solo), 19 tackles for a loss, 7 sacks, 1 forced fumble, 2 fumble recoveries, 7 passes defensed, and 1 interception. He missed all of the offseason before training camp while Dorian Williams recovered from a neck injury suffered in the playoff game against Denver, giving Elarms-Orr an advantage in learning the new defensive coordinator's system. Winner of the camp battle likely gets close to 100% of defensive snaps; loser relegated to special teams and backup work (per 2026 IDP Training Camp Battles to Watch — Buffalo Bills Linebackers).
