In the two years together at Florida State, James witnessed Cook eclipse 20 touchdowns and over 1600 rushing yards each season, causing the running back to be selected by the Vikings in the second round of the 2017 NFL draft.
“Oh yeah, I’ve been seeing it,” James said. “I (saw) it every day in practice. I mean, every run he’ll get in practice, we had to wait for him to come back because he ran it to the end zone every time, so I know what type of mindset he has.”
Drafted one year later, James had an All-Pro rookie campaign in 2018 with the Chargers, finishing the season with 105 combined tackles (75 solo), 3.5 sacks, four tackles for loss and six quarterback hits. Consequently, James established himself as one of the best safeties in the NFL— a former teammate’s success Cook has enjoyed admiring from afar.
“That’s my little brother, man,” Cook said. “Once he came in, I kinda took him under my wing. But that’s my guy right there. I know who he is, I know all about him. Great player though.”
When asked what separates James from other safeties in the league, Cook mentioned that the “energy” James brings every snap is invaluable to have on defense.
