Cobbs, one of only 69 players in NCAA history to eclipse 4,000 career rushing yards (4,050), led the nation in rushing in 2003 with 152.7 yards per game and also in scoring, with 11.5 points a game.
After that effort, he said, the school had a celebration that was attended by the school's most famous football alum, Mean Joe Greene "I got to sit next to him; he's a pretty good guy," Cobbs said of Greene, who is now a scout for the Steelers.

Coach Bill Belichick noted Cobbs' effectiveness in the running game, and yesterday said that Cobbs has also shown some ability on special teams, which is likely where he will get most of his playing time if he makes the team.
But Cobbs doesn't care what he's asked to do.
"I'll be honored to do anything, however this thing works out," he said.
