Talent’s never been a question for tight end Jared Cook.

A physical beast, Cook emerged slightly during his time with the Tennessee Titans, though, given their inept offensive line and revolving quarterback door, Cook was simply never able to find much of a rhythm in the heart of Soul country.

A free agent this past offseason, Cook asked the Titans for one thing – to be franchised like a wide receiver, something the Titans refused to do. That lead to the former South Carolina product signing with the St. Louis Rams, where he’s apparently found quite the connection with quarterback Sam Bradford.

Multiple scouts and ‘insiders’ have commented on how impressive Cook has looked during Rams training camp and SI’s Peter King is the latest to jump on the bandwagon:

"I think the single-best player we saw on our tour was St. Louis tight end Jared Cook. What a catch radius. How he caught only 44 balls last year in Tennessee I’ll never know."
