Brady Cook, who made his first career start against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday, was not on a mission to save the New York Jets’ 2025 season.
However, he was expected to show what he could do on the field and he did not disappoint in the first quarter. Cook led the Jets on an eight-play, 65-yard drive that culminated in a touchdown pass to Adonai Mitchell, helping cut the deficit to seven points at the time.

Jets head coach Aaron Glenn chose Cook to be the starter after experiments with Justin Fields and Tyrod Taylor did not yield much success throughout the year.
Cook joined the Jets as an undrafted free agent. He was waived due to the conclusion of training camp but later returned to the practice squad. He was moved from the main roster to the practice squad several times throughout the season before the game against the Dolphins.
