Niners Nation on Brandin Cooks
From the article
Cooks played with the Rams back in 2018 and 2019. Kubiak said because Cooks has been in essentially every scheme, he'll naturally have familiarity with things like the 49ers route tree and some formations... He's a pro. He's been doing it a long time. He's a worker... His reputation kind of precedes itself. He's a heck of a worker.
STACKED’s take
Cooks' Rams experience and work ethic position him to integrate quickly into 49ers offense.
Brandin Cooks, acquired by the 49ers, brings familiarity with the offensive system and a strong work ethic. Kubiak noted that Cooks played with the Rams in 2018 and 2019, giving him exposure to similar route trees and formations used by the 49ers, though playbooks have evolved. Kubiak praised Cooks' professionalism and work habits: 'He's a pro. He's been doing it a long time. He's a worker... His reputation kind of precedes itself. He's a heck of a worker. Everywhere he's been, people just talk about how hard he practices, obviously how hard he plays... He's picking up our offense quick. It's good to have him out there and get him involved.' Cooks is a 49ers fan from Stockton, California, and is being incorporated into the offense despite limited time in the building.
