Dalvin Cook on Vikings' 2021 chances, Adrian Peterson comparisons, getting paid, Kirk Cousins, switching numbers and setting records in high school and college

The Cookie Monster himself, Dalvin Cook, joins Patrick Peterson and Bryant McFadden to discuss his football journey. And the starting point of that journey is in Miami at Miami Central High School. Dalvin explains his exploits on that level before doing more of the same at Florida State. That success led him to getting drafted by the Vikings in 2017, in a crazy competitive rookie RB draft class. Cook breaks down comparisons he got to Adrian Peterson once joining Minnesota and how he dealt with the adversity of tearing his ACL in his rookie season. He tells Pat P and BMac what led to his breakout in 2020 and what it meant to sign an extension with the Vikings. Dalvin also broke some news on the show that he'll be switching from #33 to #4 next season. Is this the best he has seen Kirk Cousins play? We hear about the current state of #SKOL before jumping into some fun Superlatives!

Om Podcasten

Patrick Peterson and Bryant McFadden have made a living for their coverage skills on the football field, and while it's a different technique, they're now applying those traits on their podcast 'All Things Covered'. Instead of wide receivers, tight ends and running backs, they'll be covering sports, entertainment, social issues, personal interests and more. Every Wednesday, the 8-time Pro Bowler Peterson and 2-time Super Bowl champion McFadden will discuss what's happening on the gridiron as well as what intrigues them off the field. Each week they'll welcome a star from the sports and entertainment world to have wide-ranging conversations about what interests them. Guests can include active or former football players but also athletes and influencers from other sports and walks of life. Football is how we know our hosts, but far from what defines Pat and BMac. The name says everything; expect all things to be covered! You can also watch us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/AllThingsCovered
