Matt Waldman on James Cook

Cook is the primary comp for Clayborn's movement and low red zone creation; exemplifies modern RB archetype.

James Cook is cited as a direct stylistic and trait comparison for De'Mon Clayborn; both are described as similar movers with extreme fluidity and adeptness at creating in the low red zone. Cook is also listed as an example of the modern NFL running back archetype—smaller, space-oriented backs who excel at outside zone runs and turning the corner with quick initial and early acceleration. This archetype is becoming more prevalent as the game shifts toward more space and 12 personnel usage.
