2016 NFL Draft Profile: DE DeForest Buckner

Standing at a hulking 6'7" and weighing in at 290 pounds, Oregon Ducks' DeForest Buckner is the rare prospect whose college production matches his immense NFL upside. Buckner was selected as the 2015 Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year. During his collegiate career at Oregon, he accumulated 203 tackles, 33.5 tackles for a loss, 10 passes defensed, 2 forced fumbles and 2 fumbles recovered, all while playing on an offensive minded team without the support of top level defenders surrounding him. As a senior, Buckner posted 11 sacks, 12th best in the nation. Buckner has proven himself to be a disruptive pass rushing force and compares favorably to Arizona Cardinals Pro Bowl DE Calais Campbell.
