Which players have the look of a future star in the NFC North? Our division reporters give their picks:

Courtney Cronin, Minnesota Vikings reporter: Dalvin Cook. The rookie running back was on pace to break more than a few Vikings franchise records when he tore his ACL in Week 4. The dynamic rusher notched 354 yards rushing (4.8 per carry) and two touchdowns to go along with 90 yards receiving last season, establishing himself as a premier three-down back whose playmaking ability made him one of the most important pieces of Minnesota's offense.
