The Buffalo Bills inked rookie deals with two more draft picks on Friday, officially signing first-round cornerback Maxwell Hairston and fourth-round defensive tackle Deone Walker.
The pair, both Kentucky standouts, become the seventh and eighth members of Buffalo’s 2024 draft class to finalize contracts.
Hairston, selected 30th overall, earned second-team All-SEC honors in 2024. Known for his playmaking ability, he tied a Kentucky program record with three career pick-sixes. A native of West Bloomfield, Michigan, Hairston adds depth and upside to Buffalo’s secondary.
Walker, taken 109th overall, brings power to the defensive front. The Detroit product was a first-team All-SEC selection in 2023 and followed that with a second-team nod in 2024. He started 36 of 37 games for the Wildcats and served as a team captain for two seasons, showcasing both durability and leadership.
Buffalo’s only unsigned draft pick is second-round defensive tackle T.J. Sanders.
