Georgia running back James Cook ran an official 4.42-second 40-yard dash and made sure to let Dalvin Cook know who is the fastest in the family. His older brother, a former Florida State star and current Minnesota Vikings running back, ran a 4.49 at the 2017 NFL Combine.

The sibling rivalry the pair of former top 50 recruits in the On3 Consensus led to plenty viral social media moments including a mid-combine tweet from Dalvin Cook and a post-combine video message from James Cook.

Dalvin sent a fun message on Friday night which the NFL Network broadcast crew debated on-air. The phrase “RB1” was accompanied by a purple heart. The broadcasters jokingly discussed whether he declared himself the best in the family or James the best in the 2022 NFL Draft.

James then sent a video message to his older brother with more clear wording about the rivalry.

“You thought I wasn’t gonna beat your time, boy,” James Cook said with a smile on his face. “I beat it. 4.42.”
