David Cobb might not get picked until Day 3 of the NFL draft, between rounds four and seven, but analysts have referred to the former Gophers running back as a potential steal.
Cobb’s stock climbed at the Senior Bowl in January, when he rushed 11 times for 69 yards after checking in at 5-11, 229 pounds. Then, after weeks of training in Carson, Calif., Cobb went to the NFL combine and strained his left quadriceps running the 40-yard dash.
It took another seven weeks before he could finally show teams he was healthy at his pro day in Minneapolis, on April 13.
