Not a ton of exciting things... but sounds like he is squared away to contribute in any form needed..







Randall Cobb Ready to Roll for the Packers


Packer’s rookie wide receiver Randall Cobb has taken his off season training program by the horns to ensure he is ready when the season begins.  The NFL lockout has presented some big challenges to this year’s rookie class who have missed out on valuable time to train at their team facilities and work with their coaching staffs.


“The biggest challenge is staying fit and trying to learn as much as I can without being at the facilities and being around the [Packers] people and the program,” Cobb said.



He’s spent the past month at IMG’s state-of-the-art training facility in Bradenton, Florida getting his body prepared for the grind of the 16-game NFL season.  “It’s a great facility with some great people working us out,” Cobb said.  “We’ve got some great work in.  They’re getting us ready, and we’ll be in shape when [the lockout ends].”


But Cobb has also taken time pick up some pointers on the business side of being a pro football player.  He mentioned “finances, media, and social media” as topics he’s learned quite a bit about over the past couple months.


On the field, Cobb is hoping to contribute in any way possible to a Packers team that took home the Lombardi Trophy last year.  “We went to a Super Bowl this past year, and I’m just hoping I can do anything to contribute and help my team get back to another Super Bowl,” he said.


A jack-of-all-trades during his college career at Kentucky, Cobb appeared at WR, QB, and on kick and punt returns.  He set Kentucky’s all-time record with 37 total TDs and was named a First-Team All-American in 2010.


This year, Cobb believes he can make an immediate impact in the return game.  He’s also hoping to show what he can do on offense.   “Just trying to contribute as a receiver.  We have some great receivers, a great offense, and a Super Bowl MVP QB.  We have a really good and talented team, so anything I can do to just come in and help.”


If his college career is any indication, Cobb should add another dangerous threat to an already-explosive Packers offense.

Just in the first few games I went back and watched again from last year, there were probably 4 or 5 kickoffs that, if Jordy had an extra gear, he could have taken to the house.
This dude is a forreal returner. He doesn't have to be much more than above average to really pad his stats on this team. But he just might be much more than above average.

I'm looking forwad to see what this guy can do.

Use him primarily on kick off and punt returns then phase him him over the next couple of seasons when DD eventually retires

He will be less effective than the normal rookie. He just hasn't had the training.

It will be interesting to compare him to my memories of Jennings as a rookie.

I'd rather have low expectations and be suprised than have higher expectations and be disappointed.

It is rather nice not to have to depend on any rookie.

But I can't help but to get my hopes up a little that he can impact on special teams this season.. allow his natural ability take over.



But looking at this class and know that anything we get out of this group beyond solid depth and flashes here and there is pure gravy.



I still am a bit concerned about Clifton's health in back to back seasons.. and think the Sherrod may have his name called at some point this season.. might not be the first option at tackle.. but very well could be.

Which makes the Darryn Colledge decision that much more important, no matter how much Gunny hates his guts.

I thought I read somewhere that Nicks was a free agent too. Mankins is a pipe dream.
