Vikings running back Dalvin Cook has had himself a career year in 2019, and people are taking notice.
David Carr over at NFL.com put together his offensive Pro Bowl team, and Cook is on it. Of course, this is not the real Pro Bowl team and it really doesn’t mean anything, but here we are.
Here’s what Carr wrote about Cook:
Cook can do it all. He can run inside or outside the tackles, catch the ball out of the backfield in the screen game or line up on the perimeter. The third-year pro is a one-cut runner who hits full speed through the hole and has home-run ability from anywhere on the field. He’s in a system that showcases his versatility and provides him with bountiful opportunities — evidenced by his 1,611 scrimmage yards (second in the NFL) in 13 games.
There was no other Vikings offensive player to make Carr’s team, although you can make a real strong case for quarterback Kirk Cousins.
