Cowart, 6-foot-3 and 300 pounds, was a 5th-round pick (No. 159 overall) by the New England Patriots out of Maryland in the 2019 NFL Draft. He is perhaps better known as the nation's No. 1 overall recruit in 2015 coming out of Armwood (Florida) High School — Cowart started his college career at Auburn before transferring to Maryland for his final season.
Headed into his 8th NFL season, Cowart is on his 8th NFL team after stints with the Patriots, Indianapolis Colts , Kansas City Chiefs , Houston Texans , Miami Dolphins , Chicago Bears , and the New York Jets in 2025.
