Randall Cobb, a fan favorite for several years at the University of Kentucky, is among the 2022 inductees to the Kentucky Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Cobb, who has played 11 seasons in the NFL, nine of them with the Green Bay Packers, will be inducted along with five other members of the class on June 23 during a ceremony in downtown Lexington. Joining him are: George Wilson, a Paducah native who played nine seasons in the league as an undrafted free agent; Reggie Swinton, a former Murray State standout whose eight-year pro career featured multiple minor-league stops on the way to the NFL; Lee Calland, an undrafted player out of Louisville who in 1963 became the first rookie in league history to start a game at cornerback; Steve Ortmayer, whose lengthy career included coaching and executive stints for the Oakland Raiders, with whom he won two Super Bowls; and Elbie Nickel, a tight end out of Lewis County who was among the 33 players named to the Pittsburgh Steelers’ All-Time Team in 2007.
