Brandin Cooks Biography

Brandin Cooks is recognized as one of the most well-traveled and durable wide receivers in National Football League history. Cooks played college football for the Oregon State Beavers, earning the Fred Biletnikoff Award and consensus All-American honors after leading the NCAA in receiving yards. Following a junior year with more than 1,700 receiving yards and 16 touchdown catches, Cooks was selected as the 20th pick in the NFL draft by the New Orleans Saints.

Cooks established himself as a big-play threat at the professional level, recording six seasons with at least 1,000 receiving yards across four different teams: the Saints, Los Angeles Rams, Houston Texans, and New England Patriots. He is tied for the third-most receiving touchdowns of 40 yards or more, trailing only Tyreek Hill and DeSean Jackson in that category. Cooks' consistent production despite frequent team changes highlights his professionalism and football intelligence. He has competed in two Super Bowls—Super Bowl LII with the Patriots and Super Bowl LIII with the Rams.

Cooks holds a unique place in NFL trade history, having been traded four times—matching Hall of Fame running back Eric Dickerson for the most trades in league history. After playing a down for the Dallas Cowboys, Cooks set the record for the most teams played with after a trade. Despite frequent moves and varying quarterback play, he has maintained strong receiving statistics throughout his career.

Cooks surpassed 1,000 receiving yards in each of his first two seasons with the Texans and continued to contribute for the Cowboys. Off the field, Cooks has demonstrated a commitment to philanthropy, donating $50,000 to his hometown of Stockton, California, to help establish the Stockton Children's Fund, which serves local children. Over his NFL career, Cooks has accumulated 734 career receptions for 9,811 yards and 62 total touchdowns.
