TAMPA — Coach Dirk Koetter spent a lot of time before this year's draft evaluating RB Dalvin Cook. At one time, the Florida State star and former teammate of QB Jameis Winston was considered the player the Bucs most likely would draft 19th overall.
"He's a really good back," Koetter said. "He can run with power. He can run with speed. He can catch the ball out of the backfield, and he's demonstrated all that the first two weeks of the season. He's a really good football player."
Bucs defensive coordinator Mike Smith paid Cook a higher compliment.
