You’d be hard-pressed to find another Michigan State football player as decorated as Connor Cook. Let’s start with the moments.
As a first-year starter in 2013, Cook led the Spartans to a Big Ten championship and a Rose Bowl win over Stanford. Oh, and he beat Michigan. The next year, MSU beat Baylor in the Cotton Bowl. Then, in his final season, Cook won his second conference championship and led the Spartans to the College Football Playoff. He also picked up his third win over Michigan thanks to a botched punt snap and a game-winning rumble down the sideline by Jalen Watts-Jackson.
The numbers, well, they speak for themselves. Cook is the program’s leader in pass attempts, passing yards, wins, starts, and touchdowns.
Cook was selected in the fourth round of the 2016 NFL draft by the Oakland Raiders.
