Dalvin Cook is undoubtedly one of the most talented running backs in the 2017 NFL Draft class. His athleticism and vision has been compared to former Kansas City Chiefs great Jamaal Charles. Unfortunately, the Florida State player has a rather long history of bad decisions off of the field, leading many scouts to wonder whether or not Cook is worthy of the risk given that more money and more freedom might only bring more problems along the way.
From being charged with robbery in high school to animal cruelty to unlawful possession and discharge of a firearm to a more recent misdemeanor battery charge from 2015, Cook’s history is certainly suspect.
