Professional career

Washington Redskins

Cook was drafted by the Washington Redskins in the seventh round of the 2010 NFL Draft. [1] He was released by the team on September 4, 2010 and was signed to the practice squad the next day. On December 11, 2010, Cook was promoted to the active 53-man roster to fill the roster spot created by the suspension of Albert Haynesworth. [2]

In the 2011 season, Cook made his NFL debut in Week 6 against the Philadelphia Eagles subbing in as the left guard after Kory Lichtensteiger tore his ACL. In Week 7, Cook would have his first career start, but as center while starting center, Will Montgomery, played left guard. The reason for this being that coaches felt that Cook was a better center than guard. [3]

Cook was released on August 31, 2012 for final cuts before the start of the 2012 season. [4]

New York Jets

Cook was signed by the New York Jets on August 4, 2013. [5] He was released on August 31, 2013. [6]
