AJ Tarpley was not drafted, but that did not stop the Buffalo Bills from quickly scooping him up.
This year's linebacker class was incredibly deep and had too much talent for guys like AJ Tarpley. He was not supposed to have his name called during the 2015 NFL Draft, but don't count out his NFL career yet. The 2014-2015 All PAC-12 Second Team LB (the first teamers were Shaq Thompson, Scooby Wright III, and Hau'oli Kikaha), was signed by the Buffalo Bills.
Being second in total tackles the past two years, is quite an accomplishment because there have been NFL worthy defensive players on the daunting Stanford defense.
