An 89-yard pick-six in his final college snap capped a well-traveled career that took him from Louisville to Oklahoma to Arkansas, and now to Buffalo as an undrafted free agent.
Kani Walker signed with the Bills as an undrafted free agent after a three-stop college journey that ended with his best season yet at Arkansas. Despite going unpicked in the 2026 draft, he heads into camp with a career-best senior year and a highlight-reel interception return to point to.
