What he did in 2011: In his rookie season with the Green Bay Packers, the former Kentucky football star scored touchdowns three ways — as a receiver, a punt returner and a kick returner. For the season, he finished with 25 catches for 375 yards and averaged 11.3 yards a punt return and 27.7 yards a kickoff return. Pro Football Weekly named Cobb to its All-Rookie Team as a kickoff returner.
