Professional Career
In his first three seasons Coombs was mostly used as a backup, or rotational player behind starting tailbacks Curtis Steele and later Brandon Whitaker. In his fourth season, and first under new Head Coach Marc Trestman, Coombs' role in the offense expanded greatly; averaging 5.2 receptions per game. On August 22, mid-way through the season, it was announced that Coombs would have to undergo shoulder surgery. Trestman said he was hopeful Coombs could return to action before the end of the season.
