Rams receiver Brandin Cooks hopes to make impact vs. former team

ATLANTA -- This Sunday could be personal, but Brandin Cooks doesn't come across as a vengeful person.

The Los Angeles Rams wide receiver and one-time New England Patriot is proud to admit his affinity for SpongeBob SquarePants. Cooks also isn't discreet about his spirituality, reciting scripture as if the Bible is his most important playbook.

But when reporters tried to nudge Cooks about playing his former team in Super Bowl LIII, Cooks refused to take the bait, despite the fact the Patriots opted to trade him to the Rams rather than extend his contract.
