The Baltimore Ravens have recently signed running back Dalvin Cook, a move underscored by Melvin Gordon's performance and seen as an illustration of why the team sought Cook's abilities. His first practice with the Ravens, where he wore the No. 31 jersey, was captured and shared, signaling his official start with the team. Described as a 'potentially valuable weapon' for the Ravens' offense, Cook is poised to be a significant asset as they head into the playoffs. Cook felt that joining the Ravens was a 'no-brainer' and shared that he was 'really close' to signing with them in the offseason before opting for the Jets. Emphasizing his eagerness to contribute, Cook stated he intends to 'earn everything I get' and is ready to lay it all on the line for the team, which is currently sitting at the No. 1 seed. The Ravens' South Florida contingent has helped him feel at home, further smoothing his transition.
