Is Brandin Cooks still among fastest WRs in the NFL

[Bigtex67]

He was a 4.3 guy out of school. Sure he's lost a bit of that, but he can still wheel.

Heck it usually takes me 4.3 to get out of my office chair....lol

 

[Cowboysheelsreds058]

I just want our QB to be able to hit him on the fly with some consistency.

This video is from 2021 and 2022.

Notice that he faced a lot of zone coverage...

 

[zrinkill]

I heard Tyron Smith beat him in a race

 

[xwalker]

Yeh, and I'm tried to compile the fastest WRs who translates speed to the playing field.

NFL combine 40 time king John Ross still owns that record but he's long been an utter career bust as a NFL player.

In case anyone was wondering Will fuller has retired I believe.

Randy Moss: 4.25 forty

 

[Cebrin]

He claims he can still run the 4.33 he ran at the combine. Hard to believe after 9 years in the league.

But he's plenty fast. A definite burner.

It wouldn't shock me. T.O. is still a burner, he just lost his hands.

and Cook did not have the luxury of having any decent WR around him to help.

 

[817Gill]

Clocked over 20MPH multiple times last year I believe

 

[Pass2Run]

I like how he gets open on those quick-release throws.

Not dumb to give him the opportunity in camp, which Cowboys have said they plan on doing. I find often in life there are always people saying what you can or can't do, Kurt Warner was told a lot of what he can't do until he got the chance to prove it. I don't know if he can or can't just willing to allow him the opportunity to show it. One min you say he would have to run slot routs like Beasley yet when I say he has a lot more speed than Beasley and same size as Hilton all of a sudden he is nothing more than a gadget guy? lol Come on you don't know what he can or can't do nor do I but at least I'm more than willing to allow them the chance to show it before making any comments on his ability

They had camp and 17 games last season and hardly used him in that role. Hoping he turns into a TY Hilton or Santana Moss is pipe dream. For him to be considered a deep a threat he would need volume not 6 plays a game.

 

[DFWJC]

Kind of double standard in the OP

Assumes only Cook lost a step since his Combine then lists all these dudes that have had injuries or have been in the league a long time--yet had similar and sometimes worse times--ahead of him

 

[CCBoy]

Darrell Green out ran NFL stars up into his 40's.

He was a rookie with only recent xfl experience, there is just no way to know if he can be a wr or not.

 

[bigE79]

No. But he's already our fastest.

Same with Hilton last year

 

[Ken]

Clocked over 20MPH multiple times last year I believe

He hit 20.54 mph once that I was able to find. Hit 19.96 twice in a game another week.

In 2021 he hit 21.07 and 20.62 as top mph's.

He can still run.

 

[Blue&Silver]

He's nice in the slot.

Yiu guys do realize t hill isn’t a young guy right? He’s damn near the sane age as cooks. Has he lost any speed or Do only cowboys lose speed with age?

TRY THIS:

Brandon Cook is not in the above article but he is probably the quickest player on the Cowboys team

Pollard is still our best weapon. Maybe with the horrid Zeke gone we can design plays specifically to feature his talents and use him properly.

Best guy to send deep on the team is Pollard.
Personnel problem for the defense. Match him up against a fast CB and he won't tackle Pollard. Match him up gainst a LB and he'll run by him.
60+yard fly for a td.
Cooks is fast but there's no matchup problem. Cover him with a fast CB.

I hope he can bring to our team what Terry Glenn did for a spurt but I am probably dreaming.
