Dallas – Connor Cook has drawn his share of criticism of late, but it's not an opinion shared by those in the Michigan State locker room.
A little more than a week ago, ESPN draft analyst Todd McShay said there were some concerns about Cook from NFL people, something that stemmed from the fact Cook was not voted a Michigan State captain this season and led to him comparing the Spartans' fifth-year senior's attitude to that of Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler, "where it just kind of turns people off."
As Michigan State's defensive players met with the media on Sunday in preparation for the matchup with Alabama in the Cotton Bowl, the notion Cook has a problem in the locker room was shot down.
