Many draft prognosticators pegged Florida State running back Dalvin Cook as a first-round talent. Then Thursday's fall happened, and he's still on the board heading into Round 2.
NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported on NFL Draft Kickoff that Cook's slide was caused mostly by off-field concerns.
"So the reason as far as I'm told (his slide) relates to some of the people that he hangs out with off the field," Rapoport said. "It's more upbringing than character if that makes any sense. Because at this point, from what I'm told, the on-field character is very good, considered to be at Florida State an excellent teammate, a very hard worker. But some of it is the situations he puts himself in off the field. He has promised teams that the people around him are not coming with him to the NFL, and we'll see how that puts him as far as the standing goes in the second round today."
Cook had a series of transgressions while at FSU. The MMQB's Robert Klemko ran a fantastic in-depth look at the running back's upbringing, dating back to his middle school days, which does a great job detailing Cook's history.

Pretty sure this is easier said than done.

Didn't his boy put a gun in the face of an old man who asked them to turn their music down during a party?

Three of the best players available all have character concerns. Cook, Mixon and Tim Williams

Klemko's article said a runner working for an agent Cook didn't hire was basically smearing him. Weird that Rap would reference Cook's character concerns and that article but not mention that part.

or the fact that he tested in the 9th fricking percentile. He's a terrible athlete for a RB
Dalvin Cook: 7.27 3-cone - 4.53 shuttle
Garret Bolles: 7.29 3-cone - 4.55 shuttle

Short of the Eagles painting him as a gang member as an excuse for cutting him he's been fairly uneventful off the field in his career.

Cook had bad shuttle and cone time? How is that possible? He ran with agility, yes?
Posted on 4/28/17 at 7:53 pm to saintsfan22
He is a gang member tho

Thinking he went to the Vikings, not the Pack? Cann't see any of his boys from the hood in south Fla. following him up there to the Frozen Tundra.

All I know is that boy knows how to play football. Maybe he has character "issues" and may not be the best combine warrior, but he is a damn good running back.
