Washington State DB Turned NFL Third-Rounder
Karl Paymah, a physical 6'1", 190-lb cornerback for the Washington State Cougars, stood out with his size, athleticism, and ball skills, earning a third-round pick by the Denver Broncos in the 2005 NFL Draft; over his college career, he developed into a reliable defender known for physical play and coverage instincts, translating to 130 NFL tackles, 3 INTs, and 14 PDs across five pro seasons with Denver, Minnesota, and Houston. His tenacity and versatility make him a prototypical shutdown DB—perfect for teams needing a tough, experienced secondary anchor.
