So happy for this guy! One of my 2-3 all-time favorites at UK. Just wish I could have nabbed him in my fantasy draft. How cool would it be to have him in for the Auburn game!?!?
3 TD's for Cobb!!

my goodness. He could be on his way to a crazy season. And as Gruden said earlier tonight, for a young receiver he has a lot of touchdowns. In the low 30s for his career now. With his durability and Rogers throwing the ball he could become a career 100 TD receiver (that's hoping he wouldn't become very tempting trade stock to the GB front office before he gets much older). I wonder if an NFL receiver has ever had a 100 TDs and stayed under 10,000 yards receiving. Cobb is somewhat on that average - possibly a statement of what player they go to in red zone situation? Whatever the case, that math shows he's an over-producer.
Cobb has the work ethic to be able to compete well into his 30s. If he stays healthy and stays in Green Bay then he could potentially have a hall of fame career.
He had a nice interview piece with Gruden during MNCD. It included footage from Alcoa and UK, with plenty of highlights of his versatility at UK and discussion of the impact of his QB experience on his pro game. I've taken to calling him Hines Ward, Jr. Good stuff.
What really impressed me last night was his blocking downfield. Lacy busted a big run in 1st quarter and Cobb made sure he was in in the DBs face till the whistle blew (blocked him for close to 20 yards.) Every other run to his side was the same. He has a motor that we'll be lucky to see again. Every WR that plays for UK should watch his film before fall camp.
Not taking away from anyone else, but Juice seems to have exceptional work ethic and desire to get better.
Throw out Cobbs rookie year and he's averaging about 2/3 of a TD receiving per game. He has 30 and is only 25. Barring injuries, he really could see the HOF one day and join an elite group with 100+ receiving TD's.
