Draft Profile: Bio
Mason Cobb from Provo High School was rated a 3-star recruit by ESPN and handed a 3-star grade by 247 Sports. After high school, Cobb joined Oklahoma State.

In 2020 as a freshman Cobb saw action in just one game and played a total of 5 snaps at linebacker for the Cowboys. He recorded only one tackle, no assists, while adding one stop.

As a sophomore for the Cowboys in 2021 Cobb played in 11 games and took part in 79 snaps for the Cowboys. He recorded only 3 tackles, one assist, while adding 4 stops.

In 2022 as a junior Cobb played in 12 games and contributed on 863 snaps. He recorded decent 78 tackles, 23 assists while making 51 stops. In coverage Cobb chalked up one pass breakup, one interception, and QB rating when targetted of 82.5. As a pass rusher, he produced 22 total pressures, which included 12 QB hurries, 9 QB hits, and one sack on the year.

After season's end Cobb transferred to USC where as a senior for the Trojans in 2023 Cobb played 10 games and took part in 700 snaps for the Trojans. He also added decent 57 tackles, 28 assists, and 27 stops. While in coverage Cobb made no pass breakups, no interceptions, and an unimpressive QB rating when targetted of 120.6. As a pass rusher, he tallied 7 total pressures, which included 6 QB hurries, one QB hit, and no sacks on the season.
Scouting Report: Strengths
  • Cobb has excellent awareness in zone coverage.
  • In coverage, Cobb shows excellent awareness and anticipation when dropping back into zone, and he has the fluidity and speed to run with most tight ends over the middle.
  • He has violent hands and consistently breaks away and disengages from blockers. He’s instinctive, reading, reacting and locating the ball quickly, and finishing plays as an authoritative, wrap-up tackler.
  • He’s a sure and violent wrap-up tackler with sideline-to-sideline range. He’s an excellent tackler in space, showing loose hips and the ability to break down and contain runners.
  • Cobb shows good quickness off the line of scrimmage and flashes the violent hands to win around the edge.
  • Looks the part. Good height and a thick, muscular build. Long arms. Good overall athleticism and straight-line speed.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
  • As a pass rusher, Cobb lacks the ideal length to consistently win off the edge, even if he manages to improve his at-times sloppy hand usage.
  • Cobb is on the small side and struggles to slip blocks; he’ll need to be covered up in order to make plays.
  • He’s a grab-and-drag tackler and needs to be covered up by his defensive line in order to move freely against the run; he’s cooked if he runs into blockers at the second level.

*Percentile Ranking in Player's Position Group (NFL Combine Historical Data): This percentile reflects how a player's specific statistics rank in comparison to historical performances at the NFL Combine, specifically within their position group. A higher percentile indicates a better performance. For instance, being in the 90th percentile for a particular stat means the player outperformed 90% of their peers in that category.

*Similarity Percentage: This percentage is calculated based on a comprehensive analysis of various factors, including height, weight, 40-yard dash times, on-field performance statistics, and overall player rating. The analysis is conducted against our database of draft prospects from 2021 to 2023. This similarity score helps in evaluating how closely a current prospect aligns with past prospects. It is important to note, however, that this score reflects similarities based on college production and attributes, and does not account for eventual success or performance in the NFL.
