Corbin has just three career catches for 12 total receiving yards, and one rushing yard on his lone NFL carry. The Falcons have one of the NFL's top running backs in Bijan Robinson, who's coming off a career-high 1,456 rushing yards last season. The team also has former 1,000-yard back Tyler Allgeier, who is entering the final year of his rookie contract.

On Tuesday, the Atlanta Falcons signed running back Jashaun Corbin and released former sixth-round pick Jase McClellan in a corresponding move.

After entering the league as an undrafted free agent, the 24-year-old appeared in six games for the New York Giants in 2023. Corbin has one career rushing yard on one attempt, and 12 receiving yards on three catches in the NFL.

The former Alabama running back led Atlanta in rushing in two of the team's three preseason games. McClellan rushed for 30 yards in the opener against the Miami Dolphins and 55 yards the following week against the Baltimore Ravens. However, the rookie only appeared in two games during the 2024 regular season, rushing for 32 yards on 13 carries.

Ex-Aggies RB Jashaun Corbin Earns Another Chance at NFL With Falcons
Ex-Aggies RB Jashaun Corbin Earns Another Chance at NFL With Falcons originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Jashaun Corbin's return to Texas proved to be a lucrative bet for the former Texas A&M Aggies running back. Advertisement A four-star recruit coming out of high school, Corbin made quite the first impression as a freshman at College Station, taking his first kickoff return 100 yards for a touchdown against Arkansas in 2018. Corbin went on to earn All-SEC Freshman Team honors but had his sophomore year cut short just two games into the 2019 season due to a hamstring injury. He transferred to Florida State to become a featured back for the Seminoles but went undrafted in 2022. Corbin bounced around as a practice squad player for the New York Giants and Carolina Panthers the next two years. But after going three months unrostered after not making the final cut for the Giants last year, Corbin signed with the UFL's San Antonio Brahmas, playing alongside former teammate and Aggies quarterback Kellen Mond.

He is the first UFL player to sign with an NFL team since the conclusion of the UFL season. Corbin joins a Falcons running back room spearheaded by Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier. The RB3 role could be up for competition between Jase McClellan (2024 sixth-round pick, Alabama) and Carlos Washington Jr., an undrafted rookie out of Southeast Louisiana. The Falcons narrowly missed the playoffs last year, losing an overtime season finale that squashed their chances at the postseason. Advertisement In 14 games with the Aggies, Corbin totaled 96 rushing attempts for 483 yards (5.0 per carry) and 16 receptions for 101 yards and four total touchdowns. His sophomore year was cut short after he suffered a serious hamstring injury just two games into the 2019 season.
