Brandin Cooks' impact on Cowboys' WR corps goes well beyond his speed

FRISCO, Texas -- Brandin Cooks is fast. Like, fast fast.

At the 2014 NFL scouting combine, he was timed at 4.33 seconds in the 40, the fastest receiver to run that day in Indianapolis. With the New Orleans Saints in 2016, he had a 98-yard touchdown catch against the Oakland Raiders, running by two defenders. Drew Brees’ pass traveled 27 yards. Cooks did the rest of the work. With the New England Patriots a year later against the Raiders, he had a 64-yard touchdown catch on a go-ball from Tom Brady.
