Jared Cook, TE, South CarolinaMeasurables:
Combine height: 6-4 3/4
Combine weight: 246 pounds
Combine 40 time: 4.50 seconds

Stats:
Cook completed his abbreviated stay at South Carolina with a junior season that included 37 catches for 573 yards and three touchdowns. For his three-season Gamecocks career Cook recorded 73 catches for 1,107 yards and seven touchdowns.

Skill Set:
Cook’s athleticism jumped off the page at the Combine, as he not only ran the fastest 40 among tight ends but also had the highest vertical (41 inches) and the longest broad jump (10-3). Gamecocks coach Steve Spurrier once compared Cook to Calvin Johnson, and while that may be a bit of a stretch there’s little question he has the top-end speed to split the seam and threaten defenses down the field. Cook has natural hands, though some scouts note he has been prone to lapses in concentration which have resulted in drops.
