-- The Green Bay Packers may have drafted three new wide receivers this offseason, but that won't lift the responsibilities off the shoulders of the group's elder statesman.
Randall Cobb, only 27 years old and set to turn 28 during the preseason, finished the 2017 campaign -- his seventh -- with the lowest yards per reception average (9.9) of his career.
That was presumably due to not being able to mesh with backup quarterback Brett Hundley, who started in place of Aaron Rodgers after he broke his collarbone in October.
In an offense without Jordy Nelson, who now resides with Jon Gruden's Oakland Raiders, Cobb could potentially see a slightly inflated number of targets come his way in his eighth year.
