Vikings Star RB Dalvin Cook Uses Barry Sanders Highlights In Prep To See ‘How He Sees Things’

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Dalvin Cook’s enviable blend of agility, grit, power and speed has been on full display over the first four games for the Minnesota Vikings.

Vision on the field is just as vital in Cook’s success, honed by the constant preparation that takes place each week on his iPad.

In this high-tech work, the NFL’s rushing leader also leans on a collection of video clips dating to the pre-digital age: highlights from one of his all-time favorite players, Barry Sanders.

“I watch it because how he sets his runs up, how he develops things in his mind, and I kind of see it from a clear-eye view,” Cook said.
