The Chiefs operate a versatile, often two-high safety system, emphasizing interchangeable safeties, pattern-matching, and opportunistic blitzing.
Initially, a core special teamer and sub-package strong safety, with the potential to develop into a starting box safety capable of playing near the line of scrimmage.
A single-high safety scheme that demands consistent, deep center-field responsibilities, as this limits his impact closer to the box.
Cook's versatility and physicality are a good match for the Chiefs' defense, providing depth and potential within their multiple safety looks.
Selected #62 overall in Round 2 of the 2022 NFL Draft by Kansas City Chiefs out of Cincinnati.
