Running back Dalvin Cook and wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins have more in common than you might think. Both played collegiately in the ACC for teams that made major bowl games during their tenures—Cook for Florida State, Hopkins for Clemson. Both have made four or more Pro Bowls.
Now, both find themselves free agents at the ages of 27 and 31, respectively. Their concurrent availability has Cook thinking about a potential collaboration, something he expressed to ESPN's Adam Schefter on his podcast on Monday.
“If we end up on the same roster, that would be something epic for the NFL,” Cook told Schefter. “When I been with D-Hop, we done chill together. … I want to go win. Like I said, the money gonna come and that’s going to happen. But like as far as going to lift that [Vince Lombardi] Trophy up, he got the same mindset as me.”
