Cobbs is currently a free agent (2010–2011), and is working extremely hard to secure himself a new team home for the 2011 season, his career has been side tracked by what many players call "unfilling agents." Cobbs has shown back up on NFL radars in the early part of 2010...... Cobbs is expected to participant in the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville's 2011 Pro Day and the NFL's Regional Combine.
Cobbs was drafted in the fourth round (128th overall) of the 2004 NFL Draft by the New England Patriots. He attended college at the University of Arkansas, where he played football, starting for four years. He finished his collegiate football career with 3,027 rushing yards, good enough for 3rd place in school history. Cobbs led the Razorbacks to a 9-4 mark his senior year in 2003, was named 1st team Southeastern Conference, and was the Offensive MVP of the Independence Bowl victory over Missouri, 27-14, after rushing 27 times for 141 yards and 1 TD. During the first quarter of the 2000 Cotton Bowl which had a start time of 10:00 a.m. CST, Cobbs scored the third college football touchdown of the new millennium.
Cobbs also set the freshman rushing record at Arkansas in 1999, but it has since been broken by Darren McFadden.
Cobbs was acquired by the Broncos in 2006, via free agency. He played in two games and gained nine yards on three rushing attempts. He was released by the Broncos on May 1, 2007 but re-signed on August 21. He was released in the first round of cuts six days later.
