Randall Ladonald Cobb II (born August 22, 1990) is an American football wide receiver for the Green Bay Packers of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football at Kentucky. Cobb was drafted by the Packers in the second round of the 2011 NFL Draft.
Cobb was born to Randall Cobb Sr. and Tina Cobb. Randall Sr. worked at the Denso car parts factory in Maryville, Tennessee and also worked side jobs in the evenings, ranging from installing ceramic tile floors to mowing lawns and plowing snow, with young Randall helping. Tina, who was a track star in high school, later worked at Denso, where she met Randall Sr. Cobb II is sometimes mistaken as the son of Randall "Tex" Cobb, former heavyweight title challenger and Hollywood actor.
Cobb attended Alcoa High School in Alcoa, Tennessee, where he was a letterman in football, basketball and track. His football team was a four-time State Champion in Class AA and Cobb received a "Mr. Football" trophy from the Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association. At that time he played both offense and defense as well as special teams, but made his biggest impact as quarterback for the Tornadoes. He was an All-district basketball player as a junior.
Cobb was also a track star at Alcoa. He was a four-year member of the track team, competing in sprints along with the 4 × 100 m and 4 × 200 m squads. He finished third in the state meet in the 100-meter dash his senior year, recording a career-best time of 10.75 seconds. He was clocked at 21.89 seconds in the 200-meter dash at age 16. He also helped lead the Alcoa 4 × 100 m relay squad to a second-place finish in the state meet as a junior.
