The 2015 Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year put up monsters numbers on a defense that struggled all year. He also led the Pac-12 in sacks with 10.5. Buckner is a very exciting prospect for many NFL teams. His size, strength and ability to get to the passer have put him in the top 1o come draft day.

Buckner was one of the best defensive ends to play at Oregon. He has the motor and drive to succeed at the next level. Many are excited to see what he can do at the NFL combine. He looks to be game changer come Sunday in the near future.
