Brandin Cooks Bio

Brandin Cooks is an NFL wide receiver from Stockton, California, born September 25, 1993. He played at Oregon State from 2011 through 2013, where he developed into one of college football’s premier deep threats and all-around playmakers. In his final college season, Cooks won the 2013 Biletnikoff Award, earned consensus first-team All-American recognition and set Pac-12 single-season receiving records. Oregon State lists him at 5-foot-10 and 186 pounds during his collegiate career.

The New Orleans Saints selected Cooks in the first round of the 2014 NFL Draft, 20th overall. His professional path has included the Saints, New England Patriots, Los Angeles Rams, Houston Texans, Dallas Cowboys, a 2025 return to New Orleans and a late-2025 signing with the Buffalo Bills. As of September 16, 2026, NFL.com lists Cooks as an unrestricted free agent, so he should not be described as currently employed by a team. His game has long been built around acceleration, vertical speed, route-running versatility and the ability to threaten defenses both downfield and underneath.
