Bryant was viewed as a top-150 prospect in the 2025 NFL draft. However, he went undrafted. Atlanta managed to sign him immediately after the draft. The team did not select a CB but did pick up two safeties, including Billy Bowman, who could also be used in the nickel role.

At Kansas, Cobee Bryant made history by becoming the first player in program history to earn First-Team All-Big 12 honors for three straight years. Across 42 career starts, he totaled 13 interceptions and 128 combined tackles. Last season, he allowed only two TDs on 46 direct targets and earned PFF’s third-highest run defense grade among all CBs.

Bryant also impressed at the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine, posting a 4.53-second 40-yard dash and finishing with the fifth-highest "production score" among corners, per the NFL's Next Gen Stats. For now, he’ll work to prove he belongs on Atlanta’s roster.

Top undrafted free agents besides Cobee Bryant

While Cobee Bryant drew attention with his post-draft reaction, several other undrafted free agents from the 2025 class are positioned to make an impact.

RB Marcus Yarns signed with the Saints after averaging 6.3 yards per carry and 17.5 yards per reception in his senior year at Delaware. His speed and return ability could earn him a roster spot despite New Orleans' backfield depth. WR Xavier Restrepo joined the Titans, reuniting with No. 1 pick Cam Ward.

Atlanta added wideout Nick Nash, the 2024 college football leader in receptions, yards and touchdowns. He fits well behind Drake London on the depth chart. TE Jake Briningstool landed with the Chiefs, offering receiving skills similar to Travis Kelce.

Offensive lineman Clay Webb signed with the Broncos, bringing versatility across the line after a strong final college stretch at Jacksonville State.
