Brandin Cooks has been balling out but flying under the radar since 1954. No need to look it up. Somehow he’s never made a Pro Bowl team, though. This year he’s playing for the Cowboys, who visited the Seahawks Saturday night in the second preseason game of the year. In addition to being the second-most underrated wide receiver of this era, Cooks is also apparently a licensed pilot.
Watch Cooks flying Micah Parsons and Stephon Gilmore over downtown Seattle and Lumen FIeld.
Pretty wild: #Cowboys WR Brandin Cooks flew stars CB Stephon Gilmore and LB Micah Parsons on a plane over Seattle ahead of their preseason game against the #Seahawks
And yes, Cooks is a licensed pilot.

It feels like Cooks is destined to play for Seattle at some point before his career is over. He has Pete Carroll’s ideal receiver frame at 5-foot-10, 183 pounds and would make the most-awesome WR4 there’s ever been in the league. However, Cooks will not be an unrestricted free agent again until 2025.
