How many yards will he rack up during his rookie season?

I think he will have to earn the trust of the coaching staff first, learn the playbook, and he will be a bigger part of the offense the second half of the season

It will help him to get reps while Murray is getting healthy and speed things up. Which is a good thing. I went 750 - 999 |

I put my vote in the 1,000 - 1,249 category because the original question was "yards", not just limited to rushing yards. I think Cook is someone who, even as a rookie, will catch 3-4 balls a game on screens and over-the-middle "stop" routes in front of the LB's and will occasionally bust one for a big-gainer. I'll guess he'll have 300-400 yds receiving throughout the year and then another 600-800 rushing which puts him over the 1,000 yd "all-purpose" barrier in his rookie year.

When did Murray get hurt??? LOL Murray played the 2nd half of the 2016 on bad ankles for the Raiders and was up-front w/ the Vikings when they pursued him that he needed ankle surgery in the offseason. He underwent the operation in late March 2017 and he's expected to miss all OTA's, but be ready by training camp. From what's been reported, it was only minor surgery and nothing problematic. I believe he was seen in a walking boot still during team activities last week. With the potential of McKinnon & Cook getting 1st team reps at the start of training camp, it may give Cook a slight "leg up" in the # of snaps early on in the season. |

I expect to hear Paul Allen say "He's loose"...at least a few times this season. If Cook get's free...he's gone.

How many yards will he rack up during his rookie season? Rushing? Or all-purpose? |

I couldn't even spell result correctly AND I liked your post instead of quoting it  Originally the question in my mind was rushing. But whatever you guys want to assign your guess to is fine by me. |

But whatever you guys want to assign your guess to is fine by me. Ok then... 1200 yds rushing + receiving. More fumbles than I care to see but none in critical situations. How about that for a while ass guess?  |
