EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. —The Vikings on Wednesday announced the signing of rookie running back Dalvin Cook, putting a period on the end of contract negotiations with Minnesota’s 11-player draft class.
Minnesota signed five rookies last week and five more on Tuesday before completing the group Wednesday.
The Vikings traded up from the 48th overall spot to select Cook out of Florida State at the 41st slot.
Cook needed just three seasons to break the Seminoles career rushing mark, finishing his run with 4,464 yards, which is more than 500 ahead of former record-holder Warrick Dunn (3,959).
