Bills take LB Edefuan Ulofoshio in 5th round

The Buffalo Bills selected Washington linebacker Edefuan Ulofoshio in the fifth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 160th overall.

Ulofoshio played six seasons at Washington. His final college campaign was his best; he produced 94 total tackles, three sacks, and one forced fumble.

He joins a Bills linebacker group that includes Matt Milano, Terrel Bernard, Nicholas Morrow, and Dorian Williams.

Pre-draft profile

Ulofoshio is a freaky linebacker prospect. He tested incredibly well at the NFL combine, and all his best traits pop up on tape. The Washington linebacker explodes to the hole when he keys in on the play call, and his speed gives him quite a bit of range as he patrols the second line of defense. But he struggles to take clean routes to the ball carrier, which prevents his athleticism from shining fully. He also has only one year of good productivity under his belt - which came in 2023 - and has a history of injuries, including a previously torn ACL. Ulofoshio has the tools to carve a role as a weakside linebacker in a 4-3 scheme. as that's where his athleticism will stand out and where his weaknesses will be most covered. But it's a long road to get there.
