Meet KC Chiefs 6FT 195lb Draft Prospect

The All-Star Game season has here, and we’ll soon learn about the pre-draft meetings that the Kansas City Chiefs attended with 2023 NFL draft prospects. The first possibility they’ve spoken with is at safety.

This might be a huge need for the Chiefs with Juan Thornhill and Deon Bush set to go in free agency. According to Justin Melo of the Draft Network, Kansas City is one of ten clubs who visited with Washington S Alex Cook at the Hula Bowl this week.

Cook, a teammate of the Chiefs’ first-round draft pick in the 2022 NFL draft, was elected team captain in his last year at Washington and was named Second-Team All-PAC-12.

Cook was recruited as a wide receiver out of high school, but he ended up switching to defensive back in 2019 and has never looked back. Cook has participated in 24 games for the Huskies over the last two seasons, totaling 128 tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss, two passes deflected, and an interception.

Washington Senior Captain, S Alex Cook was popular at the @Hula_Bowl. The #Huskies safety measured in over 6-ft tall, 195 pounds with 9.5-inch hands.

Cook met w/ #Raiders, #Dolphins, #Titans, #Ravens, #Giants, #Bills, #Lions, #Eagles, #49ers and #Chiefs, per source.

In 2022, he received many team accolades, including the Guy Flaherty Most Inspirational Award, Defensive Skill Player of the Year, Chuck Niemi Big Hit Award, and Starving Dawg Award.
