Brandin Cooks' unusual practice habit leads to success in New Orleans

Brandin Cooks isn't going to rest on his accomplishments going into the 2016 NFL regular season.

The New Orleans Saints and former Oregon State star wide receiver produced a career season in 2015. He posted career-highs in catches, yards and touchdowns catches last season.

One reason for his success is the annual off-season workouts he has with quarterback Drew Brees. Cooks said watching Brees helped him improve on a habit he began at Oregon State. It's that expansion of his practice habit that has accelerated the third-year player's overall improvement the past two seasons.
