... well, it surely wouldn't be missing if you could put your finger on it.
Looks like Cook sh*t the bed at the combine

Is there really any rescuing this thread? It's now just about @Gatorraid81's Null love.

Probably not. I've contemplated dungeon. But I really like the responses. I don't want that to be lost.

Null love cause I said Cook was a terrific college player and I think he will be a good pro? No I just tell it like I see it. Since he's a projected 1st round pick, must mean a lot of people in the NFL believe it too. Doesn't make you less of a Gator fan to admit a rival player is good, just honest. All Gator fans wanted to land Cook in the recruiting cycle just like you wanted him too. I'm sure Nole fans hated Harvin, but they'd d*mn sure took him if they could've had him. As a Gator fan I want game breakers on my team, so sue me.

I think we've hashed out all we got to say. You said Cook sucked and will flame out in pros and I said the opposite. One of us will be right.

I doubt it. That would suggest he actually considers nole rape to be a problem, and we all know that ain't gonna happen.

We got guys spending more time debating a Nole than talking about our bball team. Y'all disgust me.

Rather be an honest Gator fan than a ignorant one, which actually makes me MORE of a Gator fan, a lot more than you obviously.

A lot of scouts and coaches in the NFL swear by SPARQ results to determine if a player will succeed in the NFL.
SPARQ stands for Speed, Power, Agility, Reaction and Quickness. It's a scoring system that is designed to measure sport-specific athleticism.
Tennessee's Alvin Kamara had the highest SPARQ score of any RB at the combine scoring at the 79th percentile. Dalvin Cook was at the other end of the spectrum testing in the 9th percentile. Cook really struggled in the three-cone drill (7.27), 20-yard shuttle (4.53), vertical (30.5"), and broad jump (9'8"). However, he did run a solid 40 time of 4.49.
Those results seem to support the theory that if Cook can get around the edge or find a hole he is hard to catch, but he is not very agile and doesn't cut well.
No RB that has tested under the 10th percentile has ever been drafted in the first round. As a benchmark, Adrian Peterson's SPARQ score was 131.1 80.9%.
As a general rule this is how SPARQ scores are translated by the executives:
Score Below 100 – Likely below average for many NFL Athletes
Score Between 100-115 – Average for many NFL Athletes
Score between 116-130 – Very Good NFL Athlete
Score Above 130 – Elite NFL Athlete
(The ranking takes into account the z-score)
1 Alvin Kamara Tennessee 131.4 79.2%
2 Aaron Jones UTEP 129.7 75.0%
3 Christopher Carson Oklahoma State 128.9 73.0%
4 Christian McCaffrey Stanford 128.1 70.7%
5 Marlon Mack South Florida 125.2 62.2%
6 Jeremy McNichols Boise State 124.9 61.4%
7 Joe Williams Utah 121.9 51.9%
8 Brian Hill Wyoming 121.8 51.7%

10 Stanley Williams Kentucky 120.0 45.8%
