Ever wonder how NFL players can stay fresh and motivated? Despite popular belief, players need to have lives outside their profession and Brandin Cooks personally turns to photography as his outlet. The work-life balance he promotes has helped Cooks maintain his high level of play throughout a long career, which appeared to be hanging on by a thread at multiple points. He tends to prefer travel photos which he takes around the world or of water scenes. Regardless one of the most underrated receivers in the league sometimes turns to the camera for motivation, which might explain some of the highlight reel catches he makes on Sundays.
