Production
The production scores in the projection model are set for 2015 rookies. David Cobb comes in as a middle-of-the-road producer in his college career at Minnesota. On the plus side, David Cobb had two seasons with more than 70% of the running back yardage in Minnesota’s backfield, a positive indicator, but his career yards-per-carry (5.1) and touchdown proficiency are subpar. Overall, Cobb has +8% in age-weighted rushing by the model’s metrics. In the passing game, Cobb is once-again in the neighborhood of average with -4%.
