TJ Parker went down in Buffalo Bills history books at the 2026 NFL Draft as he'll always be remembered as the team's top pick this year.

And for better or worse... but hopefully for the better.

More importantly, the occasion is one that he'll remember for the rest of his life no matter what. Being selected at the NFL draft is something few people get to experience. How did Parker take the day in?

When picked by the Bills at the No. 35 selection in the second round , Parker was home with his family with a table filled with NFL team hats. Eventually, he found the Bills one.
