With the NFL trending toward bigger safeties in the slot, Cook’s consistency and leadership are proving vital for Cincinnati’s defense. He’s ready for training camp, focused on team chemistry and proving his breakout year was no fluke — and the Bengals’ coaching staff is already using this as fuel to keep pushing forward.
