Green Bay Packers wide receiver and Kentucky Wildcats great Randall Cobb can now add college graduate to his long list of accomplishments.
One year after signing a four-year, $40 million contract through to remain a Packer while getting his first big NFL contract, Cobb is doing something he's called his greatest achievement, and it has nothing to do with football or money.
On Sunday, Cobb walked across the stage during commencement ceremonies at the University of Kentucky. He majored in community and leadership development in UK's College of Agriculture.
With two more classes to complete this summer, Cobb will officially graduate from UK in August but he got special permission from UK to wear his cap and gown today.

That one gentleman sitting behind Rodgers looks so jealous that Aaron gets to date Psylocke.
