Randall Cobb, the Green Bay Packers‘ rookie receiver, was selected today to the Pro Football Weekly and the Pro Football Writers of America’s All-Rookie Team.

Cobb, who electrified America with his performance on opening night back in September with a spectacular 108-yard spinning return for a touchdown, also returned a punt for a touchdown later in the season.

Cobb was a second-round draft choice from Kentucky last April and made the Packers as the kickoff returner. He led all rookies with a 27.7-yard average in 34 returns, ahead of Carolina’s Kealoha Pilares, who averaged 25.7.

The punt-return honor went to Arizona’s Patrick Peterson, who averaged 15.9. Cobb was second among rookies with 11.3.

He also saw time as a receiver, catching 25 balls for 375 yards.

Former Wisconsin player J.J. Watt of Houston made the team at defensive end.
