A three-time first-team All-Big 12 cornerback out of Kansas who fell to undrafted free agency before quickly proving himself with the Falcons.
Cobee Bryant is a rookie cornerback for the Falcons who became the first player in Kansas history to earn three straight first-team all-conference selections, only to go unselected in the 2025 NFL Draft. He signed with Atlanta as a UDFA and made an immediate impression as a coverage weapon.
Path to the league
Bryant started for four seasons at Kansas from 2021 to 2024, finishing with 128 tackles, 13 interceptions and 22 passes defensed across 47 games. He earned first-team All-Big 12 honors in 2022, 2023 and 2024, becoming the first Jayhawk to do so three years running. Despite being viewed as a potential Day 2 talent, Bryant went undrafted in the 2025 NFL Draft and signed with the Falcons on April 28, 2025.
Career highlights
Bryant's college career was defined by ball production, with 13 interceptions and two pick-sixes over his time at Kansas. Atlanta signed him to a three-year, $3 million contract after a competitive UDFA market, betting on a player many teams had graded as a top-150 prospect before the draft.
2025 season recap
Bryant appeared in seven games as a rookie, making one start, and posted 10 tackles and a pass deflection. He landed on PFF's Week 11 All-Rookie Team after a strong showing that included a league-leading 88.8 coverage grade and allowing just two catches for eight yards in that stretch.
