Not only is the guy a woman beater it sounds like he's a fumbler too. It was mentioned on BGN and I googled him and most of the articles that I read were about his fumbles instead of his great running ability. I never could find any stats on that part of his game though.

He punched a woman in the face. The only reason to hit a woman is if she is a legitimate threat to your life. That wasn't the case with him. He was pissed that she wouldn't give her phone number to his friend. Fuck him. I don't want him to even WATCH Eagles games let alone play in them.Official Driver of the Eagles Bandwagon!!!

The Eagles have to sort this crap out. If he did in fact hit her the. I don't want him on the team in any capacity. If it was a settlement with her, nothing changes IMO, he shouldn't be drafted. If it's bullshit and she was looking for a pay day then maybe you take him late in the first or early in the second. It's just too many unknowns right now for me though. If I'm running the board I look elsewhere right now.Official Driver of the Eagles Bandwagon!!!

If you're going to draft him you draft him IMO. I feel the same about any of these guys. I hear these character reports about guys dropping them " to the late first round "because of these things. To me that sounds funny because you either want him on your team or you don't. I really don't get it and don't agree with it. Seeing as though we haven't heard a thing about it I imagine that is was total BS. The story always sounded weird to me anyway. It just didn't sound real. Why would anybody that wasn't involved in the argument go over and hit her??? No, it just doesn't make any sense. Now if he had a history of this kind of stuff maybe I'd agree. All teams will get to the bottom of this. We've all been calling this guy a POS and it gets repeated and maybe it just isn't true. None of this solves his fumbling problem though and that really concerns me."Hey Giants, who's your Daddy?"

Cook had 13 fumbles in 3 years, I think I read. Did not lose all of them. But one of them (not lost) was this one:
As a freshman, he fumbled twice in the bowl game vs. Oregon, which helped turn a close game into a rout.
Looks like he fumbled four times in 2014 (lost all four), three times in 2015 (losing one), and six times in 2016 (losing four). The video above was not one he lost.
Then there was this little tidbit from a Kempski tweet about some combine results:

Some of that is a bit concerning, if he can replicate his college success in the NFL. May have had a bad testing day, but... does not help.
He has also had three shoulder surgeries since high school, and hamstring issues in 2015. So there are durability concerns. Lawlor also mentioned that Cook hasn't done well in his interviews with at least some teams.
Given the off-field stuff, I'd probably draft Mixon before Cook, and certainly not before the second-round pick (though he'll probably be gone).
