With the No. 58 pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, the Atlanta Falcons selected University of Colorado standout Isaiah Oliver.

The Phoenix, Arizona native played 37 games at defensive back for CU, recording 32 passes broken up and three interceptions in his three-year career.

The 6-foot-1, 201-pound cornerback earned first-team All-Pac-12 honors from the Associated Press and the league coaches as a junior.

Oliver also competed for two seasons in the decathlon with the Buffs Track & Field team.

His father, Muhammed, played cornerback and ran the decathlon at the University of Oregon before being drafted by the Denver Broncos in the 1992 NFL Draft.
