2011 season

The Green Bay Packers selected Cobb in the second round (64th overall) of the 2011 NFL draft. [18] Cobb was the seventh wide receiver drafted in 2011. [19]

On July 29, 2011, the Packers signed Cobb to a four-year, $3.20 million contract that included $1 million guaranteed and a signing bonus of $834,124. [20]

On September 8, 2011, in the Packers' opening game of the season against the New Orleans Saints, Cobb became the first person born in the 1990s to play in the NFL. [21] Cobb recorded his first NFL touchdown on a 32-yard reception in the first quarter, and followed up with a 108-yard kickoff return in the third quarter that tied the record set by Ellis Hobbs of the New England Patriots in 2007 for longest kickoff return in NFL history. [22] The return was later named Play of the Year at the season-ending NFL Honors banquet. [23] [24]

In a Monday Night Football game against the Minnesota Vikings on November 14, Cobb scored his second special teams touchdown of the year on an 80-yard punt return in the first quarter. [25] With that, Cobb became the first rookie in Packers history to return both a kick and a punt for a touchdown in the same season. For the season, he caught 25 passes for 375 yards (a 15.0 average) and one touchdown. His most impressive statistics were on special teams, as he returned 34 kicks for 941 yards (a 27.7 average) and one touchdown and 26 punt returns for 295 yards (an 11.3 average) and one touchdown. [26] [27]

Cobb made his playoff debut in the Divisional Round against the New York Giants. He had three receptions for 38 yards in the 37–20 loss. [28]

In Week 6, against the Houston Texans, Cobb had seven receptions for 102 yards for his first career 100-yard game in the 42–24 victory. [29] In the 2012 season, Cobb played in 15 games including eight starts. He led the team in receptions with 80 and receiving yards with 954 and was second on the team with eight touchdowns. [30] He set a single-season franchise record with 2,342 combined net yards—954 receiving, 132 rushing, 964 on kickoff returns (a 25.4 average), and 292 on punt returns (a 9.4 average) including one touchdown. [31] [32] He led the NFL in that category. [33] He was named a Pro Bowl first alternate as a kick returner. [26]

2013 season

In 2013, Cobb was limited to six games (including four starts) due to a broken fibula injury suffered in Week 6 against the Baltimore Ravens. [34] He returned to play in the regular season finale against the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field. He caught a memorable 48-yard game-winning touchdown pass from Aaron Rodgers late in the fourth quarter to win the NFC North title for the Packers. [26] [35] He finished with 31 receptions for 433 receiving yards and four receiving touchdowns. [36] [37]

In Week 4, Cobb had seven receptions for 113 yards and two touchdowns in a 38–17 victory over the Bears. [38] In Week 7, against the Carolina Panthers, he had six receptions for 121 yards and one touchdown in the 38–17 victory. [39] In the following game, against the Saints, he had five receptions for 126 yards and one touchdown in the 44–23 loss. [40] In Week 11, he had season-highs with 10 receptions and 129 receiving yards against the Philadelphia Eagles. [41] In Week 16, against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, he had 11 receptions for 131 yards in the 20–3 victory. [42] On January 19, Cobb was named as a replacement for Dez Bryant in the Pro Bowl. [43]

Cobb finished the season with 91 receptions on 126 targets for 1,287 yards and 12 touchdowns. He had a six-game touchdown streak and had five games going over 100 yards on the year. [44] The Packers finished with a 12–4 record and earned a first-round bye as the 2-seed in the NFC. [45] In the Divisional Round, against the Dallas Cowboys, he had eight receptions for 116 yards in the 26–21 victory. [46] In the NFC Championship against the Seattle Seahawks, he had seven receptions for 62 yards and a touchdown in the 28–22 overtime loss. [47] He was ranked as the 100th best player in the NFL by his fellow players on the NFL Top 100 Players of 2014. [48]

2015 season

On March 7, 2015, the Packers signed Cobb to a four-year, $40 million contract with a signing bonus of $13 million. [49] [20] After signing the deal, Cobb explained his thought process. "At the end of the day, my heart was in Green Bay, and I knew that's where I wanted to be. I knew I had a good thing going for me, and still I signed a pretty lucrative deal that I can handle as far as making that last for the rest of my life." [50] Cobb also mentioned that the NFC Championship loss to the Seattle Seahawks still bothered him. "Obviously, that loss still hurts. It still feels fresh. I want to win a championship, and we were right there. We were close. We didn't do what we needed to do to win, but we have a lot of the guys coming back this year, same guys. A lot of our core guys, and we believe that puts us in the mix. So we have to handle business this offseason as far as continuing to get better on a daily basis. Obviously, next season, we have to put ourselves in position to go on a run." [50]

In 2015, Cobb had one of his best seasons as teammate Jordy Nelson went down with an ACL in the preseason. [51] In Week 2, against the Seahawks, he had eight receptions for 116 yards in the 27–17 victory. [52] In the following game, Cobb had three receiving touchdowns in the 38–28 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. [53] In Week 13, during the "Miracle in Motown" win, Cobb recovered a James Starks fumble to give the Packers their first touchdown of the game to make the score 20–7 in favor of the Detroit Lions. The Packers would win 27–23 after a Rodgers to Rodgers Hail Mary. [54]

Cobb finished the season with 79 receptions on a career-high 129 targets for 829 yards and six touchdowns. [55] In the Wild Card Round against the Washington Redskins, Cobb scored a receiving touchdown in the 35–18 victory. [56]

[57] Cobb finished the season with 60 receptions on 84 targets for 610 yards and four touchdowns. [58] In the Wild Card Round against the Giants, Cobb had five receptions for 116 yards and three touchdowns, including catching a 42-yard Hail Mary from Aaron Rodgers at the end of the second quarter. [59] [60]

2017 season

In the 2017 season, Cobb finished with 66 receptions for 653 yards and four touchdowns despite losing starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers. [61] For the first time in his professional career, the Packers finished with a 7–9 record and did not make the playoffs. [62] [63]

This game marked his 15th career game with at least 100 receiving yards. [64] After two games with four receptions each, Cobb suffered a hamstring injury and missed the next five weeks, appearing for limited duty in Week 8 and Week 9 (for a total of nine receptions).
