Class of 2023 WR Johntay Cook (TX) TRANSFERRING TO SYRACUSE (5/1/25)

Sorry, I've seen enough Ben Simmons videos to not take any stock in a curated workout video.

Get excited all you want.
Is there a reason you do not like this guy? Like was he bad at working through contact before he got to Cuse? Or you can tell he is bad at it just from watching a small video? Why all this attitude?
 
He's an athletic freak. 6'0 190 4.3 speed 36 inch vertical coming out of HS. He can just do things physically that other WRs can't, especially in the slot. He's technically sound as well and that's why he got early playing time at a school like Texas. If he puts it all together on and off the field, he might just be a one year guy here and off to the NFL.

Seldom was Pena pressed in the slot and I suspect Cook will see similar coverages. Your disdain for him is around his legal history fine we get it, but this straw man argument isn't reflective of reality.

Lets not act like Pena was fighting through press coverage on every snap. The Pitt game is a prime example ... they didn't have to press they ran trail coverage and took away the back shoulder play that we constantly abused teams with.

Year 8 of Ben Simmons working on that 3pt shot! Bound to happen anytime now.

does 40 yd time mean you have a quick start? Being faster and starting quicker may mean you can beat some jams and not all though.
 
Pena was seldom jammed lining up in the slot. The whole argument is moot.
Also the video does not give any indication how good or bad he would be in that situation. This is silly for a lot of reasons. If the video was showing him struggling to get through contact at the line in a 1v1 that would be different. It is just a work out with cones!
 
Can't say i like those shorts in that awful shade of Orange. Looks plenty strong as he appears to have added some muscle but to me he look like he maybe got a tad thicker in the middle than he probably needs to be for a very young quick receiver. Thats a bit critical though. Just hope he is staying in good shape, or at least will be there very soon. If he is and stays on the straight and narrow he should do very well in a nicer shade of Orange.

I didn't say he was bad at all.

I'm just confused with the response of this board to a typical offseason workout video. Shows us absolutely nothing.
 
Your 40 yard dash time has zero impact on your ability to get off a jam at the los.
Actually thats wrong cause with that explosiveness u get hand fighting quickness and jab step quickness so i completely disagree wnith that.

I does impact how often you get jammed though. The ones with the blazing speed tend to be given a cushion or played off so a good jab step or a whiff on the jam doesn't immediately get the ball throw deep over the top.

You obviously never saw Scott Schwedes if you think Cook is thick in the middle. (That guy had insane Jets for a guy who had the OG “dad bod” for a receiver).
