When Randall Cobb was invited to attend the NFL Draft in New York, N.Y., he was immediately sure of whether he would accept. Cobb was projected as a second-round pick and would likely have to spend a lot of time in the “green room” in Radio City Music Hall before hearing his name called. He eventually decided that sharing the experience with his family and his fellow draftees was an opportunity he couldn’t pass up.It turned out Cobb had to wait until the second night of the draft to be selected by the Green Bay Packers with the final pick of the second round, but for the former Kentucky star, his wait proved to be time well spent.”I had to wait a long time in the green room, but it’s well worth it to know that I’m coming to Green Bay,” Cobb said.Cobb maintained a positive attitude throughout the process.”It was hard, really hard,” Cobb said. “The ups and downs emotionally, thinking you’ll go somewhere and you don’t go there. I was fortunate to still be on the board when the Packers picked.”While some draftees head to play for cellar-dwelling teams miles away from the playoffs, Cobb will play for the defending Super Bowl champion Packers and will receive passes from Aaron Rodgers, one of the top quarterbacks in the NFL. Cobb said his first goal as a professional is to establish a relationship with his signal caller.”I’m trying to get a hold of Aaron Rodgers,” Cobb said. “I want to get on the field with him as soon as possible.”With talents like Greg Jennings, Donald Driver, James Jones and Jordy Nelson already in the fold, wide receiver was hardly a position of need, but the Packers could not pass on Kentucky’s versatile All-American. The Packers have one of the most prolific passing offenses in football, so there will be plenty of balls to go around. Additionally, Green Bay coach Mike McCarthy calls the plays for his offense and is known for inventive sets, so the Packers will assuredly be looking to take full advantage of Cobb’s wide array of skills.”That’s just what Aaron Rodgers needed: another weapon,” analyst Jon Gruden said, tongue firmly in cheek, during ESPN’s draft coverage. “This guy is interesting, Randall Cobb. This guy is a luxury for the Packers and Mike McCarthy is going to have a lot of fun diagramming plays for Randall Cobb.”Draft guru Mel Kiper praised the pick and it is Cobb’s multi-dimensional game that makes him so intriguing.”I think he was one of the MVP’s of college football,” Kiper said. “The job he did at Kentucky, he did it all. He was a one-man show in a lot of those games and you talk about versatility, he may be one of the most versatile players to come into the NFL in years.”Although Cobb figures to contribute from day one on offense, his most notable instant impact may come in the return game. Green Bay ranked 26th in the NFL in kick returns (20.1 yards per return) and 22nd in the NFL in punt returns (7.9 yards per return).”He is an exceptional punt returner,” Gruden said. “I think he’s a natural kickoff and (punt) return man, as good as there in this draft.”Cobb’s contributions on special teams will make him valuable as he continues to develop as a receiver, a position he only played his final two years at Kentucky.”That’s the value he’s going to bring the Packers,” Kiper said. “You need a returner of this capability and I think their punt returns will be an added bonus. His ability as a receiver, he needs to just settle in, work on becoming a natural catcher of the football.”Cobb is confident in his ability but recognizes that he has areas for improvement because of his newness to the position.”My strength is my versatility and I understand coverages and can work the slot and work the linebackers and safeties,” Cobb said. “I know I have some things I can work on. I’ve only been a receiver for two years.”Projecting Cobb on the Packers, Gruden sees Cobb as a slot receiver with game-changing ability after the catch.”You know what separates the Packers offense is their third and fourth receiver is just better than your third or fourth corner,” Gruden said. “When you watch Randall Cobb, they’ll have Jordy Nelson, they’ll have Driver, they’ll have Jennings, they’ll have all those guys and now you add this guy to the mix. You can line (him) up anywhere. He’s particularly effective in the slot. He catches the ball away from his body. He’s a natural open-field runner.”Cobb won’t be the only former Wildcat on his new team. He joins punter Tim Masthay, who was a standout at Kentucky from 2005 until 2008. The two played together when Masthay was a senior and Cobb was a junior. Ironically, Cobb and Masthay were both the holders on place kicks for their respective teams last season. Cobb has always exuded a love for the game of football and he made it clear that he is willing to whatever he can to get on the field, including taking holding responsibilities from his fellow Wildcat.”I’m going to come try to take his job,” Cobb said, laughing.
