Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers was reunited with an old friend, Randall Cobb, when the franchise traded for the veteran wideout in July. Since then, reports have emerged about Rodgers' trade demand to the Packers on Cobb's behalf, something the veteran wideout spoke about to reporters on Thursday. Cobb, who is likely to play against the San Francisco 49ers in the Divisional round, kept it real on what Rodgers' trade demand meant to him.

Packers wide receiver Randall Cobb said that Aaron Rodgers' trade demand for him “gives him all the confidence in the world.” As Cobb said, one of the best players in NFL history was basically saying that the team needed his services.

That would make anyone feel confident about their abilities moving forward. Think about all the great receivers that have played with Rodgers over the years. The Jordy Nelsons, Greg Jennings, and Davante Adams of the world.

For Rodgers to flat-out demand the Packers' front office to make the Cobb trade tells you all you need to know about how the star quarterback feels about the veteran receiver.

On Saturday, Randall Cobb will get a big chance to reward Aaron Rodgers' faith in him when the Packers take on the 49ers in a huge playoff matchup.
