4 things Patriots fans should know about Brandin Cooks

1. He’s a proven deep threat…
In 42 games with Drew Brees and the Saints’ high-octane offense, the 23-year-old has totaled 215 catches for 2,861 yards.

2. …with blazing speed.

Per NFL.com’s Next Gen Stats, Cooks eclipsed 22 miles per hour on the aforementioned 98-yard touchdown catch (and nearly did the same on the 87-yarder).

“If you can hit Cooks in stride, I don’t think there’s anybody that’s going to catch him,” Brees told The Times-Picayune last year, before suggesting one potential candidate:

“Usain Bolt.”

3. Cooks has a trademark celebration — but it’s complicated

4. His path to the NFL was impressive
As the youngest in the family, Cooks watched as his three older brothers would struggle to cope with the loss of their father.

“The day after daddy died, it felt like everything went downhill,” he told The Oregonian.

Yet his brothers — two of whom became teenage fathers, and another who has been in and out of prison — urged their baby brother to learn from their mistakes. By all accounts, Cooks channeled an intense focus to excelling on the field.
