Durfee, a 6’5″, 258-pound edge defender from the University of Washington was taken with the 233rd pick in the draft, and he played in and started 10 of 12 games for the Huskies in 2025.  Durfee had a season-high in tackles with five in a 38-10 win over Boise St., and he totaled 37 for the season, including five for a loss, and 8.5 for his career.
