Since coming into the league in 2011 as primarily a kick return specialist for the Packers, Randall Cobb has been renowned as one of the league's best slot receivers. This was well before he was on the recipient end of a Hail Mary and making headlines for it. It was for the most part hidden under wraps how inefficient he was without a clear No. 1 receiver ahead of him on the depth chart.
When the Packers lost Jordy Nelson for the season in 2015, Cobb struggled. Both through a shoulder injury suffered in the preseason, but with finding ways to get open as well.
