Jared Cook on playing with Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees and Justin Herbert, Chargers' chances in 2021 and more career highlights

All Things Covered with Patrick Peterson and Bryant McFadden

Somehow, we've incidentally neglected the tight end position over the year-plus history of All Things Covered. That changes on this episode as we welcome one of the best TEs over the past decade, Jared Cook. Cook details making a position switch at the suggestion of Steve Spurrier in college and how that changed his career path. He then discusses his pro career which includes 6 different stops from being a rookie with the Titans to a 13-year vet now with the Chargers. And over that span, Jared has caught passes from some excellent quarterbacks including future Hall of Famers Aaron Rodgers and Drew Brees. He describes one of his most memorable moments, being on the receiving end of a brilliant Rodgers throw in the 2016 playoffs vs. the Cowboys, and what clicked so well with Brees more recently in New Orleans. Then, it's time to talk about his current situation and the remarkable young QB at the helm of the Chargers. Cook breaks down what makes Justin Herbert so special already with an even higher ceiling. Superlatives wrap this chat!
