Guess we know now why Edwards thought to look for him.

Perfect running form too. Knees to chest.

I don’t think you want to provoke the Cheetah like that.

He might hit you like a pregnant woman or a small child…..

I was disappointed at first that we didn't pick Travis Jones when we picked Cook. Not disappointed anymore. Very solid player who's made some really big plays for us in his season-and-a-half.

Why? I mean, Jones is a decent player and helps to anchor a good defense, but guys like that are fungible. We literally already had a Derrick Nnadi.

Jones is also not even a starter for the Ravens.

Tyreek started to try to chase from out of bounds, saw how fast Cook was moving, and gave up.

You must not have seen him play in college. I have no idea where this "Cook isn't fast" narrative began.

21.31 MPH is a whole different level though. It's right on the fringe of the fastest ball carriers in the league.

Can he catch passes?

He could probably play the Hardman role at least.

It's not just the speed but the acceleration. He got to full speed from a dead stop while everyone else was still looking around.

I know. Only has 20 tackles on the season. I whiffed on that one for sure. That's why In Veach We Trust.

Veach did say that he didn't think Cook would've made it to the end of the 2nd if he tested.

What was the thinking, though? Nnaddi was already on the roster and Cook was a terrific safety prospect we were fortunate was still on the board (IMO).

I hated Nnadi back then (I've warmed slightly, as documented in my posts) and I thought we had a bigger need for a DT than a Safety. I've happily been proven wrong.
