Travis Cobb -- MB -- Arizona - 5-11 - 180 - 4.38/40

Strength
His main position throughout his collegiate career was at the Wide Receiver position. But his skill sets dictate his talent would be best utilized at Multi Back position. Meaning give him touches wherever he needs to line up---just get him the ball. He is a playmaker!

He was such an underutilized weapon within his team’s offensive game plan. He possesses the type of talent that easily could have made him a collegiate All-American.

He possesses a solid athletically put together build to his frame. He displays such first step burst and explosion out the box.

He received limited balls thrown his direction but when he did have targets thrown his direction he displayed excellent hands---body control and adjustment to balls thrown outside the box.

Once defenders near his fluid change of direction---quick feet---and balance make him a talent to behold. It also makes for a long day for defenders who try to bring him down. Many times finding themselves off balance grabbing for air!

When in the open where he can use his speed---the stride in which he runs with is so fluid and compact. There is no wasted motion in his stride. It is the same stride and instincts that make him a very effective kickoff returner. His special teams return skills can only add to his value as a prospect.


Weaknesses
Low production during collegiate career


Summary
There is no question he is a 1st round talent if utilized properly. Due to his lack of touches---therefore production---dropped his draft value. He needs 15--20 touches through
multiple positions as a kick returner---wide receiver---screens---etc. The fact that he wasn't drafted is more directed at those who are evaluating the film--not any question of his talents!
