Randall Cobb and Davante Adams can relate in that way. The two Packers receivers each found instant success at the next level after declaring early for the NFL Draft.
Adams remembers the first encounter he had with Cobb back in 2014. At the time, Adams thought he was addressing a veteran who was “10 years in” based upon how Cobb carried himself. The reality? Cobb was a fourth-year pro and still three months shy of his 24th birthday.
Only 25 years old but entering Year 5 himself, Adams catches similar glances these days from the likes of Geronimo Allison and the other young receivers on the Packers’ roster.
