Over the first three weeks of the 2019 NFL season, you could make a pretty convincing argument that Minnesota Vikings’ running back Dalvin Cook has been the best in the league at his position. With the Sunday Night Football contest near completion and Monday Night Football yet to be played, Cook is currently the NFL’s leading rusher, 67 yards ahead of Carolina’s Christian McCaffrey, and is second in the NFL in rushing touchdowns with four.
But, with his performance on Sunday, where he carried the ball 16 times for 110 yards and a score, he joined some pretty elite company, courtesy of the venerable Gil Brandt.
