All 'fast' in their own discipline, few win in every application. Football speed is an unbalanced combination of launch, top end, and cornering. Only time will tell if Cooks becomes Prime Time, he needs to show he has the vision to match his speed. We have had a couple of speedsters over the last few years that couldn't either stay healthy or apply their gift. He definitely has the potential. |

Re: Where about does Brandin Cooks rank among the Leagues fastest ?
too me it is not so much straight away speed for a player that is under 6'
It is shuttle and 3 cone. to survive he needs to be explosive and have excellent balance to avoid that first hit. then look for the seem and run. It is that first hit that is most dangerous to these might mouses 3.84 shuttle and 6.76 cone those are numbers that will break some defenders ankles. |
