The Facts:
Cobbs spent last season on the Broncos' practice squad, but entered mini-camp listed third on the depth chart, behind Ron Dayne and Tatum Bell. Once touted by ESPN The Magazine as the next Bo Jackson, Cobbs has struggled to get his NFL career off the ground since coming out of Arkansas in 2003. He enters mini-camp healthy, hopeful it will stay that way, and eager to prove he can play at the highest level.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Health has been an issue. Mike Shanahan wasted little time signing Cobbs when New England cut him after a pair of injury-marred campaigns. The coach indicated he believes Cobbs has what it takes to be a successful reclamation project. "Cedric is a guy that we felt very highly of coming out of Arkansas. We liked his running style," Shanahan said. "We felt very fortunate to get him on our football team when he was released. Now, he's competing for the starting jobs. ..." To clarify: That's not a typo; Shanahan said starting jobs.
