BRANDIN COOKS TALKS ABOUT HIS CHRISTIAN FAITH

Episode 50 brings us Brandin Cooks to talk about his Christian faith.

Brandin Cooks (born September 25, 1993) is an American football wide receiver for the Los Angeles Rams of the National Football League (NFL). He was drafted by the New Orleans Saints in the first round of the 2014 NFL Draft. He played college football at Oregon State, where he received All-American recognition in 2013.

On April 3, 2018, the New England Patriots traded Cooks and a fourth-round draft pick to the Los Angeles Rams for a first-round pick and a sixth-round pick. This also reunited him with former Oregon State teammate Sean Mannion. On July 17, 2018, Cooks signed a five-year, $81 million extension with the Rams with $20.5 million guaranteed.

In his first game with the Rams, Cooks caught five passes for 87 yards as the Rams defeated the Oakland Raiders by a score of 33-13 on Monday Night Football. During Week 2 against the Arizona Cardinals, Cooks finished with seven receptions for 159 receiving yards as the Rams beat the Cardinals 34-0.

In Week 4, a 38–31 victory over the Minnesota Vikings, Cooks had seven receptions for 116 receiving yards and a touchdown. During a 36-31 victory in Week 10 against the Seattle Seahawks, Cooks caught ten passes for 100 yards and rushed for a nine-yard touchdown. In the regular season finale against the San Francisco 49ers, Cooks caught five passes for 62 yards and two touchdowns as the Rams won 48-32. The Rams finished atop the NFC West and earned the #2-seed for the NFC Playoffs.

In the Divisional Round against the Dallas Cowboys, Cooks recorded four catches for 65 yards in a 30-22 victory. In the NFC Championship Game against Cook’s former team, the New Orleans Saints, Cooks recorded seven catches for 107 yards in a 26-23 overtime victory to reach Super Bowl LIII. It was Cooks’ second straight Super Bowl appearance and the Rams faced off against Cooks' former team, the New England Patriots.

In the Super Bowl, Cooks had eight catches for 120 yards but the Rams lost 13-3 in the lowest-scoring Super Bowl in history.
