Showed off his long speed in track, running a 10.88 second mark in the 100 meters as a sophomore. Shows off his receiving ability by working in the slot often. Has some hip stiffness and makes defenders miss with his footwork more than his fluidity. His ability to hit the hole at full speed and blow through tackles is his greatest asset on first and second down. If he can continue to refine his ability as a pass catcher he can become a true three-down back at the next level.
SEC readiness
Breakdown from Auburn Live’s Cole Pinkston: Cobb is ready for SEC action. His ability to do multiple things in an offensive scheme will up his stock immediately. He will continue to add muscle and size to his 5-foot-10 frame. He is a smaller back, but runs with force. The lack of open field moves could pigeon-hole him to a specific role, but he has home-run ability as a ball-carrier.
His fit with Auburn’s offense is a big reason why he remained with the Tigers. That, alone, will help him get on the field early and often — even with Auburn having very good depth at his position. As always, speed supersedes many other things, and there is no exception in the SEC.
