17. player. 54. Dalvin Cook is as dynamic a running back as there is today with his suddenness and home-run ability. He is always a threat to go the distance and only needs a small crease. Like Gayle Sayers said back in the day, “Give me 18 inches of daylight, that’s all I need.” <p>He can effortlessly make defenders miss without slowing down, reminding this writer of Chris Johnson. We’ll see about his timed speed at the combine but he’s a blazer on the field. His vision allows him to locate cutback lanes along the line of scrimmage.</p> <p>And when he sees it, he explodes through it and is still ready to cut when a defender comes up. In the passing game, he has reliable hands and will surprise you with his pass protection skills. Carson Wentz and the Philadelphia Eagles could use a guy like that.</p> <p>HC Doug Pederson could run the ball and take some of the pressure off his young quarterback. Young receivers Nelson Agholor and Dorial Green-Beckham will have it figured out by next year. And with that defense, the Eagles will be a threat to win the NFC East next year. .</p>. RB. Florida State. Dalvin Cook
