UFL rushing champion Jashaun Corbin returns to the NFL, battling a crowded backfield in Oxnard to prove his professional experience earns him a permanent spot in Dallas.
Former Texas A&M running back Jashaun Corbin has another NFL lifeline after being picked up by the Dallas Cowboys.
Corbin has some NFL skins on the wall, having played six games for the New York Giants back in 2023, but made his name in the UFL, where he was the rushing champion in 2025 with the San Antonio Brahmas (514 yards and 4 TDs).
He then kept that good form rolling, with the Orlando Storm the following season, rushing for 438 yards.
But what might hold Corbin in good standing in Dallas is the fact that he does have NFL experience, even if it is only a little.
The games with the Giants are one thing, but he has also spent time with the Carolina Panthers, Atlanta Falcons, and the New England Patriots, landing on the practice squad at all three spots.
So, he knows what to expect and isn't coming into Oxnard with the Cowboys completely unaware of what is required.
Although he isn't coming into a running back room that has a legitimate chance for him to move up the depth chart.
Behind starter Javonte Williams, Corbin is up against Jaydon Blue and Phil Mafah, both of whom have made really strong starts to training camp. Then there are Malik Davis and Israel Abanikanda, who have also garnered praise from the Dallas coaching staff.
But Corbin, after being on the outer in the NFL and then producing in the UFL, has another shot at making it in the big time.
Granted, he is likely another camp body for the Cowboys to roll through, but there is a path toward potentially making it onto the practice squad, and the next couple of weeks will be crucial for Corbin.
With the Aggies for two seasons, Corbin rushed for just 483 yards and 2 TDs, while also having 101 receiving yards and a touchdown from 16 receptions.
Now he is "home" as such, with the Cowboys and he has his next NFL lifeline.

Still only 25 years old, there is plenty of tread left on the tires as he enters Oxnard looking to make some noise and catch the attention of Brian Schottenheimer and the Cowboys coaching staff.
Yes, the odds are stacked against him, but all the former Aggie wanted was a chance. Now he's got it.
