Bailey Cook has had a crazy offseason. His main goal has been to do one thing: become a better runner. He had the hands to make plays downfield, but as the game tape shows, he did not always have the adequate speed and elusiveness to make corners and linebackers miss. He was always good for catches, but he wanted to improve his likelihood of having yards after the catch.
He was focused on the stamina building from running around the team track, and building his raw speed bursts from interval training on the treadmill. This level of work, combined with his unflappable diligence has allowed him to greatly improve in both these categories. Scouts of the Yellowknife Wraiths say he has looked like a brand new player in camp, combining his always sure hands with a new found capability of burning defenders. Seeing the newly revamped Bailey Cook alongside the already quick Josh Garden will be a breath of fresh air for Yellowknife fans.
On the non-football side, he has been focused on his family, most of whom live in Florida. In the wake of the recent hurricane, he has paid to move them up to Canada, where the receiver currently makes his home due to NSFL commitments. He said, family always comes first, and that's why he had to make sure they were safe before he could continue with his training regimen.
