Ex-NFL exec likes Dalvin Cook fit for Patriots over DeAndre Hopkins

There have been talks of free agent wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins potentially signing with the New England Patriots for weeks.

But what if the five-time All-Pro wideout wasn’t really the best fit for the team? What if it was actually four-time Pro Bowl running back Dalvin Cook instead?

Former NFL executive Michael Lombardi, who was also a former Patriots assistant, threw out the idea of Cook being the better fit of the two players in New England.

“I actually believe Dalvin Cook would be a better fit than Hopkins for them,” Lombardi said, when appearing on The Pat McAfee Show.
