Cook projects as potential RB1 if unleashed as pass-catcher under new HC Joe Brady.

James Cook led the NFL in rushing yards in 2025 with 1,621 yards and finished as RB6 in PPG and RB6 in total points. At 26 years old, the source describes him as being in his Uber Prime and improving every single season. The source projects Cook could flirt with overall RB1 status if unleashed on all three downs under new HC Joe Brady, as he has yet to be fully unlocked as a receiver despite being heavily touted as a pass-catcher coming out of Georgia.
