Former MSU and NFL player now co-owner of winery

Former Michigan State University standout and former starting center for the Cincinnati Bengals Kyle Cook will be smashing things other than opposing players as part of his life after football. 

Cook, who is a Macomb Dakota graduate, is the new co-owner of Suttons Bay's Chateau de Leelanau Vineyard & Winery

And while Cook is learning the ins and outs of smashing grapes and turning them into sweet, sweet wine, his NFL career may still be rolling along. He was released in March by the Bengals after five seasons as a starting center, but he has reportedly been in talks with several teams.
