The Atlanta Falcons are fortifying their backfield depth by signing Jashaun Corbin, a dynamic running back who made waves in the United Football League (UFL). His impressive credentials were first reported by James Larsen of UFL Newsroom.
Corbin took the UFL by storm this spring with the San Antonio Brahmas, racking up a league-leading 514 rushing yards and four touchdowns on merely 97 carries. Demonstrating his versatile skill set, he also hauled in 18 receptions for 138 yards and electrified special teams with 11 kick returns, amassing 252 yards with a long return of 33 yards. Despite the high volume of action, he fumbled only once.
At 24 years old, Corbin is already seasoned beyond his years. His collegiate journey saw him develop his craft at Texas A&M and Florida State, where he concluded his academic tenure by securing third-team All-ACC honors in 2021 for the Seminoles.
The pro ranks proved a circuitous path for Corbin. Undrafted in 2022, he initially signed with the New York Giants as a rookie free agent, spending time on their practice squad. Although waived by the Giants ahead of the 2023 season, he briefly joined the Carolina Panthers' practice squad before returning to New York, where he appeared in six games, gaining minor yardage.
A setback with an injury designation from the Giants in August led Corbin to the Brahmas last October. Now, in Atlanta, he joins a bustling backfield featuring Bijan Robinson, Tyler Allgeier, Jase McClellan, Carlos Washington Jr., Elijah Dotson, and Nathan Carter, an undrafted rookie.
Corbin's addition brings not only physical prowess but also a relentless drive to make an impact and carve out a significant role in the Falcons' offensive strategies.
