James Cook is currently a running back with the National Football League’s Buffalo Bills. He was born on September 25, 1999, therefore as of right now, he is 21 years old. While growing up in Georgia, he played collegiate football.
While residing in Miami, Florida, Cook attended Miami Central Senior High School during his senior year of high school. As a rookie, he ran the ball 99 times for 709 yards and 8 touchdowns.
Cook, a highly sought-after recruit, first committed to Florida State, where his brother was a student, to play NCAA football.
Later, in the summer before his senior year, he backed out of his commitment. After weighing offers from Louisville and Florida, Cook ultimately decided to sign a letter of intent to play for Georgia.
Buffalo Bills selected Cook with the 63rd overall choice in the 2022 NFL Draft.
He had 113 carries for 728 yards and seven touchdowns, thus he was useful as a running back. He contributed as a receiver as well, racking up 284 yards and four scores on 27 grabs.
In comparison to some of the other top running backs in the draft, such as Breece Hall of Iowa State and Kenneth Walker of Michigan State, Cook has the advantage of having less experience.
