Last year during the draft the Titans did something they rarely do with a player that they did with tight end Jared cook, the team traded up. Coach Fisher and company fell in love with the former wide receiver turned blocking pass catcher after he gave an impressive performance at last year’s combine which included a 41 inch vertical and and a 4.4 40 yard dash. Cook was first team all SEC and even a Mackey award finalist who chose to forgo his senior season and enter the draft.
His combine warrior workout did not translate to huge numbers his rookie year. With 9 catches for no touchdowns Cook has a lot of improvement. I think another year to work on route running and blocking will definetly help. Tight ends are a big part of offensive coordinator Mike Heimerdinger’s offensive game plan. Just ask Steve McNair who had Frank Wycheck as his security blanket during the golden years with Heimerdinger. Now Cook wears #89 and looks to have the same kind of impact with Vince Young as Wycheck had on McNair.
