FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. — The Atlanta Falcons selected University of Oklahoma defensive back Billy Bowman Jr. with the No. 118 overall pick in the fourth round of the 2025 NFL Draft.

Bowman joins Xavier Watts as the second college safety drafted. Watts was the Falcons’ No. 96 pick Friday in the fourth round. Together, they enter a position room that features Jessie Bates III, Jordan Fuller and DeMarcco Hellams.

“It’s going to be a very competitive safety room,” Falcons head coach Raheem Morris said after Friday’s draft. That competition is growing.
