TEMPE, Ariz. -- Mason Cole got through the first start of his NFL career relatively unscathed.
The rookie from the University of Michigan allowed just one pressure, according to Pro Football Focus, about a month after taking over as the Arizona Cardinals' first-team center for the injured A.Q. Shipley.
His reward?
In his second NFL start, Cole has the fortune of lining up across from two of the best defensive players -- not just in the league, but of this era. Donald is the reigning defensive player of the year with 39 career sacks one game into his fifth season.
