Kris Abrams-Draine (born October 4, 2001) is an American professional football cornerback for the Denver Broncos of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Missouri Tigers.
Abrams-Draine attended Spanish Fort High School in Spanish Fort, Alabama. He played wide receiver before switching to quarterback his senior year.[1] As a senior, he passed for 723 yards, rushed for 1,745, and scored 30 total touchdowns. Abrams-Draine was originally committed to play college football at Louisiana State University (LSU) and the University of Mississippi before deciding on the University of Missouri.[2] [3] [4]
After playing in five games as a wide receiver his true freshman year at Missouri in 2020, Abrams-Draine switched to cornerback in 2021.[5] [6] That year he played in all 13 games with 10 starts and had 37 tackles and three interceptions.[7] He returned to Missouri as a starter in 2022.[8] [9]
Abrams-Draine was selected in the fifth round with the 145th overall pick by the Denver Broncos in the 2024 NFL draft.[10]
He made his NFL debut during Week 13 against the Cleveland Browns.[11] When veteran cornerback Levi Wallace was benched in the 4th quarter after struggling significantly against former Broncos receiver Jerry Jeudy, Abrams-Draine filled in as the outside corner opposite Patrick Surtain II for the remainder of the game.[12] The Broncos would eventually achieve a 41–32 victory.
