On both Tuesday and Wednesday, Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers emphasized that he believes veteran slot receiver Randall Cobb has earned the right to more opportunities in the passing game moving forward.
Through four games, Cobb has 10 catches on 12 targets for 150 yards. Of his 10 catches, eight have gained first downs, including five on third down. He’s averaging 15 yards per catch and 12.5 yards per target.
“He looks like 2016 Randall, I think,” Rodgers said on Wednesday. “He needs more opportunities. He deserves more opportunities.”
Over the last three games, Cobb has averaged around 23 snaps per game and hasn’t played more than 40 percent of snaps from scrimmage on offense.
