At 25 years old, Cook initially joined the Giants as an undrafted free agent from Washington after the 2023 NFL Draft. He signed a three-year, $2.6 million contract, but was released following training camp and later added to the practice squad.

In October 2023, the Panthers signed Cook off the Giants’ practice squad, but he was subsequently released after training camp in 2024. He spent most of the 2024 season on Carolina’s practice squad before being released in December.

During his time with the Panthers in 2023, Cook participated in 10 games, with two starts, and recorded 11 total tackles.
