NFL player comparisons for Buffalo Bills running back James Cook

Kenny Stills

MockDraftable Player Comparison Percentage: 97.6%

This percentage between Kenny Stills and James Cook is remarkably high with the way both players measured before their respective NFL Drafts. Kenny Stills is slightly taller at 6’0″ compared to Cooks who is 5’11” but Cooks has more weight at 199 pounds compared to Stills who weighed 194 pounds.

The testing is where this comparison really stands out as Stills had a 40-yard dash of 4.38 seconds with a 10-yard split of 1.53 seconds. Meanwhile, Cook ran it slightly slower, but not by much, at 4.42 seconds for his 40-yard dash and a 10-yard slit of 1.55 seconds.

Stills also had a slightly higher vertical jump of 33 1/2″, but it was only 1/2″ higher than Cook and both had the same exact broad jump at 124″.

This comparison is very interesting as Stills has had a productive career as a deep threat with a career average of 15.5 yards per reception.

If the Buffalo Bills are able to get a similar playmaker like Kenny Stills out of the backfield, this will cause a lot of problems for opposing defenses as he will likely be matched up against linebackers who wouldn’t have the speed to stay with Cook in coverage.
