Here’s a look at how social media reacted to former Clemson star T.J. Parker being drafted by the Buffalo Bills in the 2026 NFL Draft.

T. J. Parker’s path to the NFL hit a big moment Friday night when the Buffalo Bills took the former Clemson football defensive end with the No.

35 pick in the second round of the 2026 NFL Draft. He became the third Clemson player selected this year, following first-rounders Blake Miller and Peter Woods, continuing a strong showing for the program. Parker built his reputation on steady production and disruption.

Over 39 games, he totaled 144 tackles, 41. 5 tackles for loss, and 21. 5 sacks, while also forcing and recovering six fumbles.

By the end of his career, he ranked among Clemson’s top 10 in sacks and near the top in fumble recoveries. His best season came in 2024, when he recorded 64 tackles, 19. 5 tackles for loss, and 11 sacks, along with a school-record six forced fumbles.
