Aaron Rodgers Wowed by Randall Cobb in Green Bay Packers Training Camp

The Green Bay Packers front office rather uncharacteristically moved heaven and earth to ensure that their quarterback Aaron Rodgers would return for 2021. Last season’s MVP had a fallout with the team’s front office which prompted them to rework the QBs contract and pay heed to multiple other demands. 

One of these included a trade involving former Packers receiver Randall Cobb. Cobb, who was on the Houston Texans’ roster was brought in by the franchise upon Rodgers’ request. 

While Cobb many consider Cobb to be beyond his prime, a man paying close attention to him in training camp feels the wideout still has plenty left in his tank.

The quarterback further said that Cobb has managed to wow his teammates and coaches every single day at training camp so far.

“There’s been one thing every single day that he’s done that a lot of people have said, wow, that’s why 12 wanted him so bad. That’s why he’s going to be an important part of what we’re doing. We need him. 100 per cent.”
