CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Dalvin Cook launches his bid for the Heisman Trophy in few short weeks. But it was only a few years ago that he was not quite sure he would even be a full-fledged running back in college.
Growing up in Miami, Cook played both ways. “I used to play more defense than anything,” he told reporters during ACC Kickoff. “That’s how it was in high school, too.”
It was not until his sophomore year at Miami Central that he truly believed he could be a standout running back.
