Connor Cook, firefighter paramedic, thrilled to be drafted by the Raiders instead of the MSU QB

NFL teams go above and beyond when analyzing college players entering the draft. Their knowledge of every player by the time they answer the phone on draft day is insurmountable. Still, they can probably do better when it comes to social media.

The Oakland Raiders drafted quarterback Connor Cook out of Michigan State. The pick was surprising given the team’s promising young quarterback in Derek Carr. What was even more surprising, however, was that the NFL didn’t know Cook’s Twitter handle.

They have been tagging a Connor Cook, just not the right one. Instead, they are giving a firefighter paramedic out of South Carolina some good publicity.

And he’s all up to play along. If it were up to us, we’d draft that Connor Cook just based on his sense of humor.

We’re not the only ones who think this either. His coworkers are already hard at work trying to get this Connor Cook in shape. Who knows, maybe we’ll see him in the green room at the 2017 NFL Draft.
