Dalvin Cook projects best to an outside zone or stretch-oriented run-heavy scheme that prioritizes a back with exceptional burst, vision, and the ability to make sudden cuts.
Cook can immediately contribute as a rotational piece in his rookie year, with the ceiling to become a Pro Bowl caliber featured back due to his versatile skill set.
A slow-developing, strictly power-run scheme that emphasizes between-the-tackles grinding would not allow Cook to fully utilize his elite explosion and quickness.
Cook's explosiveness and ability to create big plays make him an ideal fit for schemes that can get him into space, but he may struggle in power-centric systems that don't allow his vision and open-field speed to flourish.
Selected #41 overall in Round 2 of the 2017 NFL Draft by Minnesota Vikings out of Florida State.
