A pro-style offense that blends West Coast concepts with elements of a vertical passing game and a strong emphasis on play-action.
Year 1: Developmental backup learning the nuances of an NFL pro-style system; Ceiling: Franchise signal-caller for a pro-style vertical offense.
An Air Raid or spread RPO offense that demands quick, improvisational reads and significant mobility outside of the pocket.
Cook's traditional pocket passer skill set aligns with a pro-style system, emphasizing his arm talent and ability to operate under center, but his mobility limitations mean he is less suited to more modern, athletic schemes.
Selected #100 overall in Round 4 of the 2016 NFL Draft by Oakland Raiders out of Michigan State.
Relative Athletic Score (Kent Lee Platte) benchmarks combine/pro-day numbers against every measured prospect at the position since 1987. 10.00 is elite; 5.00 is average.
