Last year Randall Cobb had his career best season. He went 91-1287-12 and ended the year as the 6th best receiver in the league. Although touchdown heavy, a great performance. From season to season, touchdowns are one of those stats that can be hard to predict and the question is will those touchdowns keep coming in 2015?
Back in July Cobb admitted “It’s going to be hard to top what I did last year,” and that likely would have been the truth if it were not for the travesty that happened this last weekend. The other half of the Packer’s dynamic duo, Jordy Nelson tore his ACL against the Steelers and will be out for the season.
In Jordys absence his 151 targets will be spread across the rest of the Packers. Both Cobb and Devante Adams will become the beneficiarys of those targets. In 2014 both Jordy and Cobb finished in the top 10 wide receivers and this year Cobb is expected to be a top 10 once again. Cobb has dedicated his 2015 season to his fallen teammate and I for one hope that Jordy gets the 21-touchdown salute that he deserves.
