New Orleans Saints Rookie WR Brandin Cooks Has a Big Night Against Green Bay on SNF [GIFs]

When you are a rookie coaches often wonder how you are going to perform on a national stage with the whole football loving nation watching. Some can handle it; some are not quite ready for prime time.

So--how about New Orleans Saints rookie wide receiver Brandin Cooks?

Cooks did more than answer the call Sunday night against the Green Bay Packers. He showed why the Saints were smart to use a first round pick on him. Touchdown runs like you see above certainly help, but what was really impressive was when he caught a pass he tipped up in to the air himself:



Later on in the game he caught this bomb from Drew Brees to put the Saints up for good:



He finished the night with a career high 98 all-purpose yards (94 receiving) and two touchdowns.

With young guys like this helping him out Brees might be able to play till he's 45 after all.
