In 1974, he was part of the first Santa Clara Valley All-Star Football Game, playing with the North team.

Cosbie initially enrolled at De Anza College.

He later transferred to the College of the Holy Cross, playing 11 games as a backup, while tallying 1 reception for 6 yards.

He transferred to Santa Clara University after the 1974 season, to play under head coach Pat Malley.

He finished his Santa Clara career with 120 receptions for 1,721 yards, 14.3 yards per reception and 10 touchdowns.

His records were eventually broken by Brent Jones.

For his achievements, Cosbie was inducted into the Santa Clara University Athletic Hall of Fame.

1979

Cosbie was selected by the Dallas Cowboys in the third round (76th overall) of the 1979 NFL Draft.

The team's draft strategy through that time was to take the highest-ranked player on their draft board, regardless of position.

When the Cowboys' turn came up in the third round, the highest rated player on their board was quarterback Joe Montana.

However, feeling that the quarterback position was in excellent shape with Roger Staubach, Danny White and Glenn Carano, the Cowboys needing a tight end to join Billy Joe DuPree, deviated from their philosophy and chose Cosbie instead.

After being passed over by the next five teams in the draft order, the San Francisco 49ers selected Montana as the final player of the third round.

In his first 2 seasons, he was a backup behind DuPree and Jay Saldi, playing mainly on special teams and as a blocking tight end on short-yardage and goal-line situations.

1981

In 1981, he almost won the starting tight end spot, but was still able to share it with Dupree and tied for the team lead with 5 touchdown receptions.

1982

In 1982, he was named the starter during the 9 game strike shortened season, finishing second on the team with 30 receptions (led the NFC tight ends) for 441 yards, a 14.7-yard average and 4 touchdown receptions (led the team).

1983

In 1983, he emerged as one of the league's top tight ends, making 46 receptions (franchise record for tight ends) for 588 yards (third on the team) and 6 touchdowns.

He also earned his first invitation to the Pro Bowl.

1984

In 1984, he broke his own team record for receptions by a tight end with 60 catches, which led the team and was second among NFC tight ends.

He was second on the team with 789 yards and 4 touchdowns.

1985

In 1985, he set a team record for receptions by a tight end for the third straight year with 64 catches.

He also established a franchise record for receiving yards in a season by a tight end (793) and had 6 touchdowns (second on the team).

He was named to the UPI All-Pro NFC team.

1986

In 1986, his production fell more than 50 percent to 28 receptions for 312 yards and one touchdown, mainly because of the extensive use of running back Herschel Walker as a receiver out of the back field, that produced 837 yards.

1987

In 1987, he had 36 receptions for 421 yards and 3 touchdowns, becoming the franchise's All-time leading receiver among tight ends and his 288 catches ranked him fifth on the All-time Cowboys receiving list.

1988

In 1988, he lost his starting job in the fifth game due to being limited by offseason surgery on his Achilles tendon, posting 4 starts, 12 receptions and 112 yards.

1989

In 1989, with the arrival of new head coach Jimmy Johnson, he was left unprotected in Plan B free agency.

Although he was a strong blocker, he became more of a receiving threat than any previous Cowboys tight end.

He caught over 60 passes in a season twice during his career, and set team records for a tight end with catches and yards per season and career, which have since been broken by Jay Novacek and Jason Witten.

He is part of the Cowboys franchise's legacy of great tight ends that includes: Jim Doran, Lee Folkins, Pettis Norman, Mike Ditka, Billy Joe DuPree, Jay Novacek and Jason Witten.
