The Atlanta Falcons could have one of the best offenses in the NFL in 2025 — especially with second-year quarterback Michael Penix Jr. expected to take a major step forward. With key weapons like Bijan Robinson, Drake London and Darnell Mooney surrounding him, the unit has the firepower to be explosive this fall.
They just added to it on Tuesday.
In what was called the first official UFL-to-NFL signing of 2025, San Antonio Brahmas running back Jashaun Corbin signed with the Falcons, according to James Larsen of Pro Football Newsroom.
Corbin led the UFL in rushing this season with 514 yards, averaging 5.3 yards per carry and scoring four touchdowns for the Brahmas. His versatility and burst quickly made him one of the league’s most consistent playmakers.
His journey to this point hasn’t come easy. Corbin originally committed to Texas A&M as part of the 2018 class before transferring to Florida State, where he finished his college career. After going undrafted in the 2022 NFL Draft, he bounced around NFL practice squads with the New York Giants and Carolina Panthers before finding new life in the UFL.
He now joins a fairly crowded backfield in Atlanta, headlined by Bijan Robinson. Corbin will have to compete with backup Tyler Allgeier, Jase McClellan, Carlos Washington Jr., and Elijah Dotson.

One potential path to the roster could be through special teams, where he offers added value — he also logged 252 kick return yards with the Brahmas this past season.
The other angle? The Falcons might be preparing for a trade involving one of their running backs. Allgeier has been rumored as a candidate, especially with unrestricted free agency looming in 2026. Given Robinson’s status as the clear lead back, Atlanta could use Corbin as roster insurance while exploring future assets or financial flexibility by moving Allgeier.
As the Falcons prepare for the opening of training camp on July 24, we’ll soon find out whether Corbin’s breakout UFL campaign can carry over into a 53-man roster spot in Atlanta.
