Brady Cook arrives at the Jets facility as an undrafted free agent. During his five-year tenure at Missouri, he played in 47 games, recording 9,251 passing yards, 50 TDs and 1,262 rushing yards with 21 scores.

In 2023, he posted 3,317 yards, 21 TDs, and six interceptions with a 66.1% completion rate. Last season, he tossed 11 TDs and two interceptions.

Analysts believe the 23-year-old QB could prove to be a valuable addition. ESPN’s Matt Miller spoke on the “Flight Deck Podcast” with Jets reporter Rich Cimini, calling Cook one of the most underrated pickups. Miller emphasized his skills and consistency at Missouri, saying:

“There were certainly times over the past few years when Missouri tried to replace Cook, but they just couldn’t, because he plays too well, he practices too well, and he is such a good leader.”

Cook joins the Jets with minimal turnover risk and tested athleticism.
