GREEN BAY — Randall Cobb had just hung up with Amari Rodgers and was hopping in an Uber when his iPhone buzzed yet again.
That’s been happening a lot to the ex-Green Bay Packers wide receiver lately after his former team took Rodgers, who just happens to be Cobb’s protege, friend and — the Packers hope, anyway — clone. Old teammates, mutual friends, reporters — anyone and everyone has been seeking Cobb’s input on the Packers’ intriguing new offensive weapon.
“I think you’ll really like him,” said Cobb, who’d been busy connecting Rodgers with Packers star wide receiver Davante Adams and with a local real estate agent to help him find a home in town.
