Everything about Mason Cole screams old school.
His college career came at a storied program (Michigan) for a throwback coach (Jim Harbaugh) with a traditional offensive scheme (pro-style). He never balked when asked to change positions, transitioning from left tackle to center and back to left tackle with chameleon-esque aplomb.
The Cardinals’ third-round pick made history upon his college arrival, becoming the first true freshman at Michigan to start the season opener on the offensive line. He finished with 51 starts in 51 games, only camping out on the sidelines when the Michigan offense was killing clock at the tail-end of blowouts.
