TCU’s Kaleb Elarms-Orr ready to be in Buffalo for ‘years and years to come’
TCU linebacker Kaleb Elarms-Orr was picked by the Buffalo Bills in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL draft on Saturday.
Elarms-Orr spent the past two seasons in Fort Worth after transferring from California and was first-team All-Big 12 during his last season at TCU.
Elarms-Orr talked to reporters about what the Bills can expect from him on the football field.
“I pride myself on the versatility of my game,” he said. “Just being able to be a three-phase, complete linebacker, stop the run, stop the pass and affect the quarterback. And I feel like I can bring all three of those to the city.
“I take a lot of pride in tackling. As linebackers, you can’t miss a lot of tackles or at least bad plays. ... I always just try and bring a lot of force, a lot of power into my tackles, striking with the near foot, near shoulder. And always just finish on the ball, always trying to take the ball away at all times and always trying to get the dudes down for minimal gains, always knocking dudes back.”
He promised that he would give his all during his tenure in Buffalo.
“You’re gonna get someone that’s a hard worker, is always trying to be around the ball, a leader and someone that you guys can count on for years and years to come,” Elarms-Orr said. “I’m a player that is very passionate about the game. Football is all I do, and I’m just ready to go out there and compete at the highest level.”
