Over at NFL.com, former Jaguars running back Maurice Jones-Drew picked who the top-10 rushers would be at the end of the 2020 NFL season.
Vikings running back Dalvin Cook ranked eighth. But given from Jones-Drew’s description, he thinks Cook will be a big part in Minnesota’s pass game as well and will win the Offensive Player of the Year award in 2020:
If the Vikings want to reclaim the North, they’re going to have to lean on Cook. I guarantee they will do just that with Gary Kubiak as the offensive coordinator, which is why I picked Cook to be this season’s Offensive Player of the Year. Come on, Minny. Don’t let me down.
In 2019, Cook finished with 1,135 rushing yards, a mark that ranked 10th in the NFL. Cook did miss two games, however.
Cook also added 53 catches for 519 yards.
It feels like there’s certainly a world in which Cook can finish with 2,000 yards from scrimmage in 2020. If that happens, he’ll certainly have a shot at OPOY.
