He played collegiately at the University of Cincinnati, once throwing for 554 yards in one game. Cook lived most of his life in Chillicothe, Ohio, where he excelled in baseball, basketball and football while attending Chillicothe High School.
As a rookie in 1969 he led the American Football League's Cincinnati Bengals to wins over the eventual Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs and the playoff-bound Oakland Raiders.
