Paul A. Esden Jr: The face of the franchise so to speak is Dalvin Cook. He’s arguably the best back in all of college, but what makes this guy so special? And how good can this guy be at the next level?

"Jason (@jpchopchat): Imagine the vision and speed of Warrick Dunn with the strength of a semi truck. That would be Dalvin Cook in a nut shell. Now that he is 100% healthy for an entire season, Cook has been able to show that 2015 wasn’t a fluke and he’s one of the best. As for the next level, he has the potential to have a long solid career in the pros. it’s hard to compare playing against Wake to playing against the Patriots, but his work ethic and talent should keep him in the NFL for a while."

"Kelvin (@khchopchat): I do think Dalvin is the best back in college football. Anytime you have a player that can take it to the house on any given play…he’s special. Cook is criminally underrated for his ability to break tackles and get extra yards. He’s speed/burst is elite. As far as the next level? It’ll depend on the team, but if gets on a team with a decent o-line and quarterback play…he’s going to be a problem and should play for a while barring injuries."
