Virginia’s long, disruptive ballhawk with NFL-caliber tools
In the 2009 season, Chris Cook stood out at Virginia as a rangy, physical corner who consistently disrupted routes, finishing his Cavaliers career with 7 interceptions and 19 pass breakups while also showing real two-way playmaking juice earlier in his career. The appeal is obvious: size, length, toughness, and a knack for making quarterbacks pay when they get careless. He’s the kind of DB you care about if you want a confident, press-capable defender with big-play upside and a competitive edge that shows up on film.
