Except for himself, Ellis Hobbs of the New England Patriots and later Jacoby Jones of the Baltimore Ravens , no other NFL player was able to do this at the time (record holder today is Cordarrelle Patterson with 109 yards).
Cobb also became the first rookie in Packers history to touchdown both a kickoff and an opponent's punt when he carried a punt over 80 yards for a touchdown against the Minnesota Vikings later in the season .
In his second season, Cobb became one of the team's top performers. He achieved the most passes captured with the greatest gain in space for his team. Since he - as in his rookie season - was also used frequently in kickoff and punt returns, he also set a record for the largest total win in a season in the history of the Green Bay Packers.

In March 2020, he signed a three-year contract with the Houston Texans, where he will earn between $ 19 million and $ 27 million.
