Mistaken Tweet Says SC FF/Medic Drafted by Raiders

May 4, 2016
Connor Cook informed the team he wasn't the one from MSU. "Sorry y'all."

“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..."
