Former Packers WR Randall Cobb set to join SEC Network as studio analyst

Former Green Bay Packers receiver Randall Cobb, a 2011 draft pick who ended up playing 10 seasons for the franchise, is retiring from the National Football League and transitioning to work in television. ESPN announced Cobb will join the SEC Network as a college football studio analyst.

UPDATE: In a tweet, Cobb said he’s not “officially retired.”

“I am incredibly excited to be coming home to the SEC with this new role,” said Cobb. “The level of greatness this conference provides year after year is unmatched – I cannot wait return to the conference family with this SEC Network crew.”

Cobb, who finished his career with 630 catches, played 13 total NFL seasons between 2011 and 2023.

Cobb spent last season with the New York Jets. A second-round pick of the Packers in 2011, Cobb played his first eight seasons in Green Bay (2011-18) before spending one year in Houston (2019) and one year in Dallas (2020). He returned to the Packers via trade and played the 2021 and 2022 seasons in Green Bay.

Cobb made the Pro Bowl in 2014 after catching 91 passes for 1,287 yards and 12 touchdowns. He caught 532 passes — the fifth most in Packers history — and scored 47 touchdowns while with the Packers.

Cobb is almost certain to be a future member of the Packers Hall of Fame. Like other former Packers, Cobb could return to Green Bay to retire as a member of the organization in the near future.
