Although he wasn't drafted, he remains in touch with several NFL organizations. When asked what prompted the switch, Cook responded, "Being an NFL player has always been a dream of mine. I never considered trying out for the NFL until I played in an intramaural turkey bowl game several years ago in which I was running circles around guys.
