Dalvin Cook is already a three-time Pro Bowler and widely recognized as one of the best running backs in the league. But he could take things up a notch in 2022 with Kevin O’Connell overseeing the offense as the new head coach for the Minnesota Vikings.
There has been talk of Cook being utilized more as a receiver in the spring practices. It doesn’t come as much of a surprise considering he’s one of the most versatile playmakers coming out of the offensive backfield in the NFL.
So it only makes sense for O’Connell to look at creating more opportunities to get the ball in his hands. The Vikings might be deep at the running back, but Cook, 26, still prides himself on being the bell-cow player at that position.
