'''Gregory Lynn Cook''' (November 20, 1946 – January 27, 2012) was an [[American football]] quarterback who played two professional seasons, in the [[American Football League]] (AFL) and later the [[National Football League]] (NFL). He played [[college football]] for the [[Cincinnati Bearcats football|University of Cincinnati]] and was selected 5th overall in the [[1969 NFL/AFL draft]]. Once considered a rising star for the [[Cincinnati Bengals]], he had his pro career prematurely ended by recurring shoulder troubles.

In 2007, [[NFL Films]] named Cook as the number one greatest NFL "one-shot wonder" of all time, describing him as one of the biggest "what-ifs" in league history, in the seventh installment of its program ''[[NFL Top 10]]''.
