The 32-year-old was a second round pick of the Packers in 2011 out of Kentucky. He spent the first eight years of his career in Green Bay before departing in free agency in 2019, inking a deal with the Cowboys. After a one-year stint in Dallas, Cobb signed on with the Houston Texans for the 2020 campaign before being reacquired by the Packers in an offseason trade in the summer of 2021 at the request of Rodgers.
