“Nothing prepares to be at work and you get the tweet that says you’ve been drafted number 100 overall…”
That was the tweet from SC firefighter/medic Connor Cook after hearing he’d been drafted by the Raiders.
After learning that Raider Nation had mixed up the tweet, he responded: I don't mean to be bother, but I'm not MSU Connor Cook. I'm firefighter paramedic Cook. Sorry y'all..."
“…And boy, what an honor for a boy from rural Idaho that has very minimal experience. I’m quite nervous, but I’m glad the fine people that I work with and my captain are here to train me…”
Cook is taking it all in stride.
“The guys at the station are making me do push-ups and wind sprints in anticipation of training camp…”
He also tweeted: "I'll still take a multimillion contract for medical standby..."
