Professional football defensive end Landon Jackson’s ethnic background has helped him shape his identity.
On Saturday, April 26, 2025, the Buffalo Bills selected Arkansas EDGE rusher Landon Jackson in the third round of the NFL draft.
Licensed Insurance Sales Agent at Peek Insurance Agency LLC, Kennedy Frix, took to his Facebook handle and congratulated Landon. He wrote.
BILLS MAFIA ❤️💙🤍 Congratulations Landon Jackson! Excited to see what this chapter has in store for you!! I know you’ll continue to do great things. So thankful Navy was able to be there and experience this huge night for her God Father!

Jackson started his career at LSU before playing the last two seasons at Arkansas.
During that time, he terrorized the SEC with 13 sacks and 22 TFLs and earned First-Team All-SEC honors in 2023 and Second-Team All-SEC honors in 2024.
One of those sacks, broken down below by former NFl lineman-turned-analyst for the NFl Network, Brian Baldinger, came against Kaydan Proctor of Alabama, projected to be the #1 OT in the 2026 NFL draft.
The Bills’ selection of Jackson was generally well-received, and a more extensive look at his highlights shows similar attributes to the sack Baldinger broke down.
