Cook has been a godsend for the Bills since coming into his own during his 2023 sophomore season, reducing the weight on Josh Allen’s shoulders. Last year, he showed his second-season breakout was no fluke, along the way developing a newfound knack for scoring. Cook quintupled his career rushing TD total while tying for the league lead in scores on the ground. He was efficient and explosive, and currently stands to make a good chunk of change heading into a contract year.
