Good football player but he is smallish size wise


Perkins out of HS...6'2.5" 210
Collins out of HS...6'3" 200

Not a hell of a lot of difference huh? Too bad Perkins didn't know he was "smallish in size"

Cobbins is a classic tweener. He’s not 6-3 first of all. As others have posted, he is too small to play DE right now. He will probably grow out of being a box safety (his current size), and I don’t see much coverage film on him anyway to know if he can even do that. That pretty much leaves traditional LBer for him. Can he play that position? IDK. Can he put on 35 lbs and play DE? IDK. He’s hard to project right now.

I see why they took him, but tweeners can be tricky. Even Perk is a tweener. Not big enough to play DE down after down in SEC at 6-1 to 6-2 and 215-220. He struggled early and looked lost as a traditional LBer vs FSU, and then was moved to his most recent position that drops him into coverage a lot. This helps his NFL draft stock, but it means less TFL’s and sacks.

Merry Christmas to all
