New Buffalo Bills defensive end Landon Jackson is just like the rest of us.
When his phone rang early in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft, Jackson looked and quickly saw “potential spam” attached to the number. Spam calls have been on the rise and Jackson was ready to ignore the call until his wife intervened. He told the story to the media in a Zoom meeting.
“Man, honestly, I didn’t think it was real,” Jackson told the media. “I knew the Bills were big on me throughout this whole process, but I didn’t think it was real. My phone said potential spam risk when they called. I thought I was getting pranked to be honest with you. Then my wife said, ‘Go ahead and pick it up. I think it is somebody.’ Then I picked it up and they said, ‘This is the Buffalo Bills.’ I said this is Landon Jackson, thank you for calling. At that point, I just shut down and started bawling.”
Buffalo may want to call their phone provider before the start of day three of the draft to make sure that the issue does not arise again. That said, Jackson’s call from Buffalo will be one that he will never forget.
Jackson was not a pre-draft visitor for the Bills, but the team did a ton of due diligence on the prospect. He told the media that Buffalo was at his pro day and that they worked him out and had dinner with him. The Bills also had a formal interview with Jackson at the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine.
