For most of the year, Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook is focused on helping his team win games.
During the off-season, though, Cook traded in his purple and gold uniform for a fishing pole to help Team Gypsea win ‘The Catch’ fishing competition. New England Patriots linebacker Matthew Judon and captain Taylor Sanford made up the rest of Team Gypsea.

The event, which took place off the coast of Miami, Fla., was hosted by the Sports Fishing Championship (SFC) and helped raise money for the Coast Guard Foundation — a non-profit organization that supports active members and veterans of the U.S. Coast Guard, along with their families.
Cook and Judon competed against three other teams that included a pair of NFL players and came away with 425 points, which was 125 better than Team Quantified, who had Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert and Kansas City Chiefs defensive end Chris Jones.
