Cook averaged an impressive 5.7 yards per carry on 89 rushes as a rookie, and with Devin Singletary becoming a free agent this offseason, Cook has a chance to establish himself as the lead back in Buffalo.

In total, over his first 16 games in the NFL, the twenty-three-year-old recorded 507 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 89 attempts. He also hauled in 21 receptions for 180 yards and a touchdown on 32 targets.
