Dalvin Cook believes he is the best running back in football.

Dalvin Cook believes he is the best running back in football.
The 24-year-old is headed into a contract year. The posturing has begun. “The things I do coming out of the backfield, the things I do in between the tackles, I block, I pretty much do it all,” Cook said. “I don’t have to come off the field. I think some guys just don’t do as much as I do, and I think that’s why I’m today’s (top) back.” Cook solidified himself as an elite option at the position last season, but his injury history remains lengthy and concerning. His deal has also come due at a time where a host of recent running back contracts have gone sideways. Working in his favor is the Vikings' run-established ways. Cook's contract situation is a fascinating undercard to Christian McCaffrey's.

[Schmoopy1000]

He is.

Kirk has extra he's not earning.

 

[RememberTheKoy]

I think he might be top 5.

 

[Schmoopy1000]

I think he might be top 5.

that would be fair.

I have no problem with him thinking he's the best RB. He certainly is good, as are a few other backs.
I say coin flip

He is.

He's gotta play a full season first....

All depends on how a team uses their RB.

 

[The Derski]

He’s not even the best RB in the north

 

[Shanemansj13]

One good year and you are the best. That’s funny. Setting things up for demands of a huge contract. No thanks

 

[rtfgbfan]

He should hold out all next season to prove his worth IMO

 

[Battlelyon]

Looking at the "best" running back in last year's playoffs

 

[jerseyhawksfan79]

He could be but needs to stay healthy

Lol @" I pretty much never need to come off the field" except for when you cant get on it.

Cook: "I am the best running back in football!"
Cook's ACL/Hamstring: "Hold my beer."

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

He's a good RB when healthy but the dude has yet to play a full season. But hey, another big talker looking to cash in. I hope the Vikes brass do pay him. Then we can LOL at them.

but he is going to be so great in empty stadiums

Kirk Cousins says playing Vikings games in empty stadiums would 'kind of be refreshing'
