Tennessee Titans

Cook was drafted by the Tennessee Titans in the third round of the 2009 NFL Draft. He finished his rookie season with 9 receptions for 74 yards in 14 games. Cook's second season was much more productive, he appeared in all 16 games including one start. He finished the season with 29 catches for 361 yards and one touchdown against the Kansas City Chiefs.

St. Louis Rams

Cook signed a five-year contract with the St. Louis Rams on March 12, 2013 after the Titans decided not to put a franchise tag on him at all after rejecting his request to be tagged as wide receiver, which attracts a bigger pay.

In his first game with the Rams in 2013, Cook recorded 141 yards and 2 touchdowns on 7 receptions in a 27-24 win over the Arizona Cardinals. He fumbled a possible third touchdown in the first quarter that was stripped by Tyrann Mathieu. His production slowed down for the remainder of the season, but he still finished with 51 receptions for 671 yards and 5 touchdowns. He finished with almost identical numbers in 2014. Cook's tallies fell in 2015 to 39 catches on 75 targets for 481 yards.

He was released by the Rams on February 19, 2016.

Green Bay Packers

On March 28, 2016, Cook signed with the Green Bay Packers. The deal is a one-year $2.75 million with another $900,000 available through incentives.
