DT Kenneth Grant Wants to Play for the Bills

Buffalo, NY – March 25, 2025

In a stunning turn of events, Michigan defensive tackle Kenneth Grant has sent Bills Mafia into a frenzy, reportedly expressing his desire to join the Buffalo Bills ahead of the 2025 NFL Draft. Sources close to WUFO Sports confirmed that Grant, a top-tier prospect, told insiders he’s eager to suit up in Orchard Park after meeting with the team at the NFL Combine in February. While the Bills hold the No. 30 pick, landing the 6’3, 339-pound mauler might require GM Brandon Beane to trade up, a move fan chatter on X suggests could cost a first-rounder and a fourth-round pick. With Buffalo’s cap space at a slim $3.9 million per Spotrac, any deal hinges on draft-day maneuvering, but Grant’s public nod has sparked wild speculation about a blockbuster pairing with Ed Oliver.

Grant’s college tape is a highlight reel of dominance, cementing his status as a first-round lock. In 2024, he started all 12 games for Michigan, notching 32 tackles, 6.5 tackles for loss, 3 sacks, 5 pass breakups, and 2 fumble recoveries, per NFL.com. His junior year earned him Second-team All-Big Ten honors and a Third-team AP All-American nod, with a viral chase-down tackle against Penn State’s Kaytron Allen showcasing his freakish speed for a 340-pounder. Over three seasons, Grant tallied 69 tackles, 12 TFLs, and 6.5 sacks, anchoring a Wolverines D-line that won the 2023 national title. His 4.95 40-yard dash at the Combine (NFL Draft Buzz) and a PFF grade of 83.7 in 2024 underline why Bills fans are drooling over the “monster” prospect.

For Buffalo, Grant’s interest could be a game-changer after years of playoff heartbreak, notably against the Chiefs. Pairing him with Oliver—who faced relentless double-teams in 2024—could fortify a run defense that ranked 19th in yards per attempt (4.51), per Buffalo News. Fans on X erupted: “Grant wants us? Trade up, Beane!” His size and agility might finally solve Buffalo’s interior woes, though it’d mean outbidding teams like the Raiders or Jets, who pick earlier. For Michigan, losing Grant to the draft stings, but his departure—alongside Mason Graham—ushers in a new era for their D-line. If Beane pulls this off, Grant’s wish could turn Bills Mafia’s dreams into reality—or leave them cursing another draft miss.
