At just 26 years old, new Pittsburgh Steelers’ offensive lineman Mason Cole is already the elder statesman of a rebuilt line in the Steel City.
That can be a bit shocking to read, but Cole is now the oldest offensive lineman on the Steelers’ roster with Trai Turner hitting free agency and Zach Banner released.
Fortunately for the Steelers, Cole brings a great deal of experience, having seen action in 60 games with 39 career starts. Though his role in Pittsburgh is a bit unclear for the time being, but one thing is certain: Cole will be looked to, in a sense, to bring a veteran presence and provide some leadership along the offensive line moving forward.
