Jackson Hawes named Buffalo Bills' representative on NFL's perfect roster
Summary

Jackson Hawes has been named the only Buffalo Bills player on NFL.com’s perfect 53-man roster. The tight end, selected in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, was recognized for his contributions to the team’s running game and blocking. Despite joining a tight end room with notable players, he carved out a significant role as a rookie, playing all 17 games and recording three touchdowns. NFL.com highlighted Hawes' affordability as a factor, allowing the site to create a competitive lineup while remaining under the salary cap. His development into a top blocking tight end is anticipated as the 2026 season approaches.
