NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Fifth-round tailback David Cobb and the Tennessee Titans have agreed to terms on Thursday, the team announced.
Cobb finished his collegiate career at Minnesota with 2,893 yards and 20 touchdowns, averaging over five yards per attempt. He added 339 yards receiving over four years.
He was an All-Big Ten second-teamer in 2014 before being selected by Tennessee at No. 138 overal in the draft.
Gil Brandt of NFL Media labelled Cobb a potential 1,000 yard rusher and first-day starter, though he'll have some competition when he gets there with last season's back Bishop Sankey, who underwhelmed his last time out.
The Titans could use some help in that backfield, a unit that posted the seventh-worst rush last season (90.4 ypg) behind Sankey, and 29th in total offense. The club also inked fourth-rounder Jalston Fowler, a powerful. 53-game fullback from Alabama.
With the disappointment in Sankey and Shonn Greene in declining years, Cobb and Fowler could find themselves competing for valuable playing time as the club looks to bolster their chances in the AFC South race with signal caller Marcus Mariota under center.
