Randall Cobb Signs with Houston Texans

Cobb spent his last year in with the Dallas Cowboys, but also spent time with the Packers. His 2019 season saw him catch 55 passes for 828 yards and three touchdowns. He averaged 15.1 yards per catch in a campaign where Dallas floundered to 8-8. Cobb was drafted out of Kentucky, and was a main cog for the Packers, as well as a good slot receiver for Dallas.

Initially being drafted by the Green Bay Packers, Cobb was originally a QB prospect out of Kentucky. His rookie campaign garnered 25 catches and 375 yards with 1 touchdown. He immediately became an important target for Aaron Rodgers, where he had more than 60 catches in five of his seven seasons as a Packer. His best season came in 2012 where he had 91 catches for 1297 yards and 12 TDs.

Cobb really began to flourish in his second season with Green Bay. Rodgers found him quite often, and they had some memorable moments together. His most memorable moment came during week 17 of the 2013 season, where the Packers stunned the Chicago Bears on Cobb’s 43-yard touchdown catch, with 38 seconds remaining. Before becoming a Cowboy, Cobb routinely killed Dallas, which made them happy to see him sign on with the team in the 2018 offseason. In his first season as a Cowboy, he replaced former slot receiver Cole Beasley, who signed with Buffalo.

2019 wasn’t Cobb’s best season statistically, but he did play a crucial part in a passing attack where Dak Prescott threw for 4902 yards. Cobb has ties to new head coach Mike McCarthy, as McCarthy served as Cobb’s coach in Green Bay for seven years. McCarthy has gone on record saying he’d like to keep him if possible. This will be the second time in as many years that Cobb has been available as a free agent.
