Falcons Land Star Cornerback: Kansas’ Cobee Bryant Signs After Stellar College Caree
The Atlanta Falcons have made a major addition to their secondary, signing standout Kansas cornerback Cobee Bryant, according to sources.
Bryant, who became a household name in Big 12 circles, was a 3-time First-Team All-Big 12 selection during his collegiate career with the Jayhawks. Known for his ball-hawking ability, instincts, and competitive fire, Bryant leaves Kansas with an impressive résumé that includes 13 career interceptions and two pick-sixes — a testament to his playmaking prowess.
Standing at 6-foot, 170 pounds, Bryant consistently proved himself as one of the premier lockdown defenders in college football. His combination of sticky coverage, aggressive tackling, and high football IQ made him a nightmare for opposing quarterbacks throughout his time in Lawrence.
Bryant’s impact at Kansas extended beyond the stat sheet. His leadership and swagger helped lift the Jayhawks’ program to new heights in recent seasons, culminating in back-to-back bowl appearances — a feat that had eluded Kansas for over a decade before his arrival.
For Atlanta, Bryant represents not just depth in the secondary but also immediate competition for starting snaps. The Falcons, who have been aggressively reshaping their roster this offseason, are clearly prioritizing speed, athleticism, and turnovers on defense. Bryant fits that mold perfectly.
Many scouts praised Bryant’s instincts and fearless attitude during the draft process, noting that while he may not have the elite size of some NFL corners, his technique, anticipation, and ball skills make him a high-upside addition. With his knack for finding the football and changing games in an instant, Bryant has the potential to become a fan favorite in Atlanta.
The Falcons’ secondary, headlined by rising stars like A.J. Terrell, now adds another young, dynamic playmaker to the mix. If Bryant’s college production translates to the pros, Atlanta may have just landed one of the biggest steals of the offseason.
As Bryant takes the next step in his football journey, Jayhawk fans will be watching closely — and Falcons fans should be excited for what’s to come.
