Former FSU football running back Dalvin Cook is the best running back in the upcoming draft. We provide three reasons why he should be first running back drafted.

The FSU football program is primed to send a number of players to the NFL, and Dalvin Cook is the biggest star of the bunch who’ll likely be drafted in the first round.

There are reports he could slide to the second round due to teams having concerns about his shoulder surgeries and off the field concerns about his character.

The former concerns are legit, but the latter are far-fetched in my opinion. A report came out Tuesday that suggests there is someone who tried to sabotage Dalvin Cook’s draft stock by planting rumors about his character.

If you haven’t read the report, I highly suggest you do so after finishing this piece.

The fact of the matter is Cook a first round talent, and should be the first running back taken in the upcoming NFL Draft.

We look at the top three reasons why we believe that to be the case.
