The Atlanta Falcons are considering bolstering their cornerback position as they approach the 2026 NFL Draft. Despite having a solid secondary, the team understands the importance of depth in today's NFL. One prospect of interest is De'Shawn Rucker, a cornerback from the University of South Florida (USF), who has met with the Falcons and several other teams, including the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Kansas City Chiefs, New York Jets, and Denver Broncos. Rucker, who stands at six feet and weighs 185 pounds, previously played three seasons at the University of Tennessee before transferring to USF for the 2024 season. Over his college career, he has participated in 48 games, recording one interception, 12 pass breakups, and 3.5 tackles for loss. His ability to play multiple positions in the secondary, coupled with his impressive athleticism—reflected in a Relative Athletic Score (RAS) of 8.41—makes him a valuable asset. If the Falcons are keen on Rucker, they may be able to select him on Day 3 of the draft.
