Few Green Bay Packers fans have any idea of the astonishing athleticism that tight end Jared Cook brings to the team. You probably know he’s fast, but for a large tight end he’s crazy fast.
With a 4.50 40-yard dash time, Cook is at the 98th percentile among his tight end peers. Rob Gronkowski, the league’s consensus top tight end, had a 40 time of 4.73. That’s in just 51st percentile.
Cook’s overall athleticism is easily the best among NFL tight ends. His burst — vertical and broad jump scores combined — is also ranked in the 98th percentile.
