Who Should I Start? Jashaun Corbin or Corey Kiner

Tuesday, June 17, 8:52 PM

Per the team, the Atlanta Falcons have signed free-agent running back Jashaun Corbin to an undisclosed contract. Running back Jase McClellan was released in a corresponding move. The 24-year-old got some run with the New York Giants in 2023 but was waived last offseason and did not find work in the NFL last year. Corbin found his way to the UFL as a part of the San Antonio Brahmas and led the league in rushing in 2025. In addition to 97 carries for 514 yards and four touchdowns on the ground, he chipped in another 18 receptions for 138 yards through the air, finishing with the third-most all-purpose yards in the UFL. Atlanta has no immediate need for a running back, but they may utilize Corbin on special teams, as he also has experience in the return game.

Rookie Corey Kiner had a solid day in his professional debut. In the 49ers' preseason opener against the Denver Broncos, Kiner led San Francisco's backfield in touches and yards, taking 10 carries for 45 yards and catching one pass for a two-yard gain. He also served as a kick returner, bringing one back for 17 yards. Kiner, an undrafted free agent, comes to the 49ers after back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons as a Cincinnati Bearcat and figures to see a lot of work in the preseason. San Francisco is unlikely to put Christian McCaffrey's health on the line so early, and Isaac Guerendo (shoulder) and fellow rookie Jordan James (finger) are set to miss multiple weeks while nursing injuries. Kiner will have his next chance to impress next week against the Las Vegas Raiders.
