Brandin Cooks must be pinching himself.
The former Oregon State star wide receiver is now a member of Super Bowl champion New England Patriots after the New Orleans Saints traded him last week.
"The opportunity to play an organization like this, it's a dream come true and it's blessing," Cooks told patriots.com. "So I couldn't be more thankful."
Patriots coach Bill Belichick has admired Cooks for a while and the Patriots jumped at the opportunity to acquire him when the Saints indicated a willingness to trade Cooks.
