Vikings fans will have an opportunity to learn more about rookie running back Dalvin Cook this weekend. The Vikings' top draft pick will take over the team's Snapchat account and provide a behind-the-scenes experience at the NFLPA Rookie Premiere in Los Angeles.

The Vikings traded up in the second round to select Cook with the 41st overall pick in last month's NFL draft.

Cook, the former Florida State standout, is the only Vikings rookie and one of about 40 recently drafted players from around the league that will be featured at the NFLPA event that began Thursday. The three-day experience teaches rookies about the business of football and allows them to network with NFL partners.

"D-Cook checking in. Snapchat takeover. … I'll keep you tuned in all week," Cook said in the Snapchat story.

On Thursday, Cook documented his autograph sessions, exploring Beverly Hills, and showed off his new No. 33 Vikings jersey.

Check out Thursday's action and follow along throughout the weekend on Snapchat by following the username "Vikings."
