Dalvin Cook was a 2X First Team All-American at FSU football while accounting for over 30 percent of FSU’s offense from 2014-16.

Cook played with a sub-par offensive line and quarterback play, while routinely running against eight-man boxes, with FSU playing many top-ranked defenses.

Dalvin Cook obliterated all of them. Clemson and Brent Venables had nightmares about Dalvin Cook. The Miami Hurricanes had nightmares about Dalvin Cook, and it sucked more since he was from South Florida.

The Florida Gators had nightmares about Dalvin Cook, who he was once committed to before flipping to Florida State(Clemson too).

Don Brown’s vaunted defense with Michigan in 2016? Dalvin Cook torched them and led the Noles to their last New Year’s Six Bowl victory before declaring for the NFL Draft.

Cook has gone on to become the best running back in the NFL, yet his time at FSU continuously gets overlooked and disrespected.

First of all, how can you ask such a question and only list four running backs? Secondly, can we get some type of criteria of why you choose those four in particular?

Otherwise, this list is terrible and omits a lot of great running backs from that time. Heck, even Leonard Fournette was like they were tripping with this list.

Let’s look at how Dalvin Cook stacks up with a couple of these guys on their list.
