Randall Cobb reveals why he doesn’t want NFL career for his kids – “I took all the CTE so y’all could do something else”
Cobb appeared on the “Bussin with the Boys” podcast hosted by Will Compton and Taylor Lewan. He was asked if he’d pressure his kids to choose the University of Kentucky (Cobb’s Alma Mater) if they were to get recruited.
Cobb agreed with Compton. He then expounded on why he doesn’t want a professional football career for his children. [From 45:30]
“You know, definitely I would love for them to follow my footsteps,” Cobb said. “But I also don’t want my kids to play football either. Like I’m trying to push them to soccer or tennis or golf. I took all the hits. I took all that possible CTE, so y’all could go do something else.”
Cobb is concerned about the health of his kids. NFL players are more prone to chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) due to the physicality of the sport of football.
He added:
So if they would make that decision to decide to play later on in life, then you know, I’ll probably let them around high school, but I’m not gonna let them play [professionally] like they can play flag [football]. That’s my personal opinion.
Randall Cobb opens up on life plans after NFL career
Randall Cobb has spent 13 years in the NFL. He knows his time as a professional football player is almost done. No team showed interest in the veteran wide receiver, who was available on the market, this offseason.
Speaking on the same podcast, Cobb discussed his life plans after his NFL career. The former Packers WR said he is interested in broadcasting and loves the business aspect of the game. Cobb also mentioned he is still figuring out the next avenue. [From 2:33:51]
“I love the business of sports,” Cobb said. “I love the game obviously. I’m starting to dabble into the broadcasting thing. Just getting a little feel for it. Investing, that’s that’s a big piece of life for me… [Investing] in some different companies and different things. So just trying to find that next facet, what sparks interest. So I’m planting seeds right now seeing what grows.”
Cobb added:
“I don’t know enough about it [podcasting]. I mean, I enjoyed this today, but I’m not opposed to it… I’m open I can button up I can. I can keep it relaxed like this.”
Randall Cobb spent his 13-year NFL career with four teams, namely the Green Bay Packers (two stints), Dallas Cowboys, Houston Texans and the New York Jets. He recorded 630 receptions, 7,624 receiving yards and 54 touchdowns in his pro football career.
