Quantwan Juaray Cosby (born December 23, 1982) is an American former professional football player who was a Return specialist and wide receiver in the National Football League (NFL). He played for the Cincinnati Bengals, Denver Broncos, Indianapolis Colts, and the Jacksonville Jaguars over his four-year career. He played college football for the Texas Longhorns where he won a National Championship and still holds several school records.

Prior to attending Texas, he was a star athlete at Mart high School and then played four years of minor-league baseball for the Anaheim Angels organization.

Cosby grew up Mart, TX where he was one of four boys including his twin brother Quincy. When he was in 9th grade he moved out of the house with his family, due to difficulties with his stepfather and into the home of a school friend whose parents pushed him to excel in school and gave him a spiritual life.

He attended Mart High School in Mart, Texas where he was a 2nd Team all-USA and five-time all-state football player, all-state track athlete and all state baseball player. He earned first-team all-state recognition as a quarterback and defensive back after leading Mart High School to a perfect record and the Class 2A state championship in 1999. In 2000, he again received first-team honors as a quarterback and defensive back, and also as a kick returner, as Mart finished as the Class 2A runner-up to Celina.

During the 1999 season, he rushed for 1,532 yards and 26 touchdowns on 112 carries, passed for 1,316 yards and 17 touchdowns, and scored on seven punt returns, two kickoff returns, and two interception returns. On defense he had 7 interceptions. In 2000, he was named the Class 2A Offensive Player of the Year for the second consecutive season after recording 1,924 rushing yards and 29 rushing touchdowns, 1,405 passing yards and 13 passing touchdowns, and seven additional touchdowns on returns (five punts, one kickoff, and one interception). In high school he had 480 career tackles and 21 career INTs.

In track he won individual state championships in the 100- and 200-meters in 2001.

In baseball, he hit .479 as a senior with 3 HRs and 33 RBIs; and stole 81-of-82 bases during his final two prep seasons.

In 2011 he was named to the Texas High School Sports Hall of Fame.
