Newspaper Calls Dalvin Cook ‘Most Explosive Big Name Back in Draft’

In just one day, former FSU football running back Dalvin Cook could become the next great Seminole to be taken in the first round of the NFL Draft. While there have been questions of late about where the talented back will end up going and which round he will be taken in, there is no doubt that whichever team takes him will get one of the most talented – if not THE most talented – players in the whole draft.

As it turns out, one major newspaper seems to feel the same way. Last weekend, Thomas Bassinger of the Tampa Bay Times – covering the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who seem to be really interested in reuniting Cook with Jamies Winston if you believe everything – posted an article that points out what FSU football fans already knew…Dalvin Cook is the most explosive back of the three big names in this year’s draft

To determine who has been the most explosive running back, we combed through the play-by-play of hundreds of games and tallied the runs of at least 12 yards and the passes of at least 16 yards.
