Strengths:
Productive in college rushing for 4464 yards and 46 touchdowns, in just three years. He is a three-down back with breakaway speed, excellent hands, and a nose for the end zone. One of those players that just pops out on film. He has tremendous vision for a young back and will provide an NFL team a Day 1 starter.
Weaknesses:
Fumbles are a major concern for Cook. He had 13 career fumbles at Florida State and an NFL coaching staff will want to solve that issue that right away. Not always the toughest runner between the tackles. Needs to work on his pass protection to become an elite three-down back. History of shoulder trouble which could come back to haunt the team that drafts Cook. Not a spotless off-field record. He was arrested for battery and cited for mistreatment of animals, during his time at Florida State.
