It’s Friday, Florida State fans. For those of you winding down your work week, we’ll try to help you make it to the weekend. The news and notes section of this post will be updated throughout the day.
Lead Story
Florida State running back Dalvin Cook wasn’t expected to be the first back taken in the 2017 NFL Draft, but he was expected to be a surefire first-rounder. That didn’t not happen.
Cook was not selected with the first 32 picks in the 2017 NFL Draft on Thursday night and will hope to hear his name Friday as the draft continues with the second and third round. Cook rushed for a school-record 4,464 yards in his FSU career and was a Consensus All-American as a junior last year.
The draft resumes at 7 p.m. EST on Friday. Other FSU players hoping to hear their names called on Friday include defensive end DeMarcus Walker and tackle Roderick Johnson.
