Vikings' Dalvin Cook is already back in the gym to build off his big year

Coming off the best season of his career — and a year where he touched the ball more on a per-game basis than any player in Vikings history — Dalvin Cook said Wednesday he's looking for more.

Cook missed the Vikings' final game of the season when he left the NFL's COVID-19 testing protocol to return home to South Florida after the unexpected Dec. 29 death of his father, James. That meant he fell short of Adrian Peterson's single-season team record of 388 touches, but with 356 in 14 games, Cook became the first player in team history to average more than 25 touches per game.
