The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have selected Kansas State Defensive Back Jacob Parrish with the 84th pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Parrish brings elite speed (4.35 forty) and immediate special teams value, with potential to develop into a key defensive player. Despite being undersized, his refined press coverage skills let him disrupt receivers. He excels in transition and closing speed, shrinking throwing windows and contesting catches. With experience in man and zone coverage, Parrish offers defensive versatility, though he shines brighter in man coverage.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have selected EDGE Rusher David Walker from Central Arkansas with the 121st pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
David Walker’s college career in Central Arkansas is a highlight reel: three-time First-Team All-American, three-time conference Defensive Player of the Year, and the 2024 Buck Buchanan Award winner as the top FCS defender.
His stats are staggering – 31 sacks and 63 tackles for loss in just three seasons. In his final year, he racked up 23 tackles for loss, 10.5 sacks, and 55 total pressures. Walker was a force to be reckoned with at Southern Arkansas, earning First-Team All-Great American Conference honors and leading the league in sacks and tackles for loss.
As a day two pick, Parrish has sub-package potential and needs strategic deployment to maximize strengths. His ball skills and route recognition hint at a higher ceiling than his physical attributes suggest. Expect him to contribute immediately on special teams and compete for nickel roles, with the technical foundation to become a starting-caliber defender by his second season. He’ll thrive against shifty, undersized receivers, using his mirroring skills and closing burst to neutralize their advantages.
With their 121st pick in the 2025 Draft, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers selected the explosive David Walker , edge rusher from Central Arkansas. After bolstering the secondary in the previous rounds, Todd Bowles’ team has opted to give their front seven extra speed, energy, and production. David Walker as a reinforcement for the Buccaneers’ pass rush.
Walker comes to the NFL after a historic FCS career, where he was named the 2024 Defensive Player of the Year . His resume is impressive: 39 sacks, 82.5 tackles for loss, and six forced fumbles during his time at Central Arkansas. His ability to pressure the quarterback, stop the running game, and his tireless effort make him one of the most intriguing prospects on Day 3 of the Draft.
