Former Georgia running back James Cook signed his rookie NFL contract with the Buffalo Bills over the weekend.
Per Sportrac, the second round draft pick Cook signed a four-year contract worth $5,832,057 with a signing bonus of $1,421,496.
Cook has a chance to play early for a Buffalo team that has no true No. 1 guy at the running back position.
He brings a versatility that can be dangerous to an already exciting Bills offense.
“I’m versatile, you know? I can do it all,” Cook said in his first media appearance as a Bill. “I can play in the slot. I can play out wide. I can run between the tackles. So I just feel like I can do it all and I’m versatile.”
Cook emerged as a weapon in UGA’s national championship season as a runner and a pass catcher.
The Florida native and brother of Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook had big performances in the national semifinal and title game for the Dawgs.
