4 years agoWhat could be? This has been the question since Dalvin Cook came into the league. If he just could remain healthy, how good could he be? In 2020, we found out. Although he still only played in 14 games, Cook had a massive workload, rushing 312 times for 1,557 yards and 16 touchdowns. While yards per attempt is not always a good indicator, having a 5.0 average on 312 rushes is certainly not a negative. With an additional 44 touches for 361 yards in the passing game, Cook proved to be the three-down back the Vikings thought they were getting when they drafted him in the second-round from Florida State in 2017. Cook showed he is deserving of the new contract given to him. 2021 should be much of the same for Cook in Minnesota. The Vikings are loaded on offense with Cook playing alongside Adam Thielen and Justin Jefferson. Kirk Cousins will also be more aggressive in getting the ball out. And not just because the team drafted Kellen Mond, but also because he was called out by Jefferson during a radio interview about not being aggressive or having the same swagger as Jefferson's college quarterback at LSU, Joe Burrow. The offense in Minnesota is not the problem. They will score and it will revolve first and foremost around Dalvin Cook. If you do not have a top-three draft pick, you are not getting him, and for good reason. If you do, he might be the safest pick in the top three, even more so than Christian McCaffrey or Derrick Henry.--Dominick Petrillo - RotoBaller
