How about a little good news tonight in Falcon Country? Former Falcon RB Terrance Cobb announced on social media yesterday that he has signed a contract with the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the Canadian Football League. Cobb went to training camp last year with the Roughriders before announcing his retirement due to a lingering foot injury. Cobb has never been one to let obstacles get in his way. He committed himself to make a comeback during the fall and is now on the verge of restarting his career.
Cobb was an immediate impact player for the Fulton Falcons at the LB position. He was a member of Fulton's 2004 and 2006 championship teams, and had a rumble return for TD in the '06 BlueCross Bowl against David Lipscomb. Cobb teamed with Dennis Rogan in the Fulton backfield in 2006. Both players eventually signed NFL contracts. Cobb was Fulton's feature back in 2007's pass happy offense. Terrance saved his best for his last two high school games of his career. He had a 4 TD effort against David Lipscomb in the BlueCross Bowl, almost single-handedly keeping Fulton in the game. He was named offensive MVP in the losing effort. Cobb then became the MVP of the first Border Bowl All-Star game in Kentucky.
Terrance spent a couple of years away from the game in order to focus on academics before joining the football team at the University of the Cumberlands. He became a legend at the school, and was named NAIA All-American twice. He rushed for 4,414 yards and 47 TDs in his career with the Patriots. His senior season was cut short with a foot injury. Terrance signed a Free Agent contact with the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2014 and played in a couple preseason games. He signed with the Oakland Raiders at the end of the 2014 season, and participated in off-season activities before signing with the CFL's Roughriders.
Cobb as a Jaguar
Terrance Cobb is one of Fulton High School's greatest success stories. He has become a pro at overcoming adversity, and we know he will give his all to continue his football career. Saskatchewan is a long way from Knoxville, but Falcon Nation will be keeping a close eye on one of their favorite sons.
