Summary
Zane Durant is a high-energy defensive tackle who relies on his natural athleticism and low center of gravity to disrupt plays. While he is undersized for the interior, he compensates with a nonstop motor and the lateral quickness to chase down ball carriers. He is most effective when allowed to use his speed in space or on stunts, consistently battling bigger blockers through leverage and effort.

Bills' Zane Durant: Grabbed by Buffalo
The Bills selected Durant in the fifth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 181st overall.
Durant (6-foot-1, 290 pounds) is perhaps undersized as a defensive tackle, but he started the final three seasons of his four years at Penn State and impressed at the NFL Combine, with his 4.75-second 40-yard dash representing the fastest time at the position. As a rookie, he figures to compete for a rotational depth role along Buffalo's defensive front.
