EAGAN, Minn. -- Dalvin Cook breezed back into town after an offseason spent at home in Miami, and on the night before he and other veterans report to Minnesota Vikings training camp, the running back is starving.
Not starving for excellence or any other metaphor that can sum up his mentality heading into his third NFL season, entirely healthy from the start after left leg injuries limited him to 15 games in two years. Cook’s stomach is grumbling and he’s downright hungry.
For the next few weeks he’ll bounce between logging long days at camp and the team hotel, so tonight’s menu features a home-cooked meal: fettuccini pasta with meat sauce and meatballs, prepared by "The Chef" himself.
