Dalvin Cook signed with the Dallas Cowboys this week and will join the practice squad to start the 2024 NFL season, but he believes he can still contribute to the backfield.
The Cowboys enter the season with Ezekiel Elliott, Rico Dowdle, and Deuce Vaughn on the 53-man roster. However, Cook still sees a role for himself.
The four-time Pro Bowl running back spoke to ESPN’s Todd Archer about his role with the Cowboys and the team’s running back-by-committee approach, saying he believes the running back can “push each other” to be better.
Cook is used to being the bellcow back so it will be an adjustment, but he’s ready for it.
“My years in Minnesota it was Dalvin, Dalvin, Dalvin, give him the ball. Now, just a little adjustment,” Cook said, according to Archer. “Help everybody and be productive. That’s just my mindset.
“I’m going to be ready to go, being around Zeke, I can obviously learn a lot from him. He’s older than me. Just soaking up the game, still. Learning from the young guys, too. Just being a part of this group, I feel like we’re going to push each other.”
The Cowboys have consistently been ranked as having the worst running back room in the NFL, so any help will be welcomed.
