In the moments following FSU football’s epic Orange Bowl win over the Michigan Wolverines Friday night, the best player in garnet and gold was called on the stage miles away from his Miami home to be named the game’s MVP – all while fans began to chant “one more year” in hopes Dalvin Cook would listen.
As it turns out, the 144 rushing yard day – in which Cook broke the single season rushing record he accomplished last season – was the final one for the running back as a member of the program. Cook announced Saturday that he will be declaring for the 2017 NFL Draft, where he likely will be taken high in the first round.
