3-4 power two-gap run defense, leveraging big bodies up front to occupy blocks and allow linebackers to flow freely.
Rotational two-down run-stopper in year one with potential to develop into a starting MIKE linebacker in a physical 3-4 front.
4-3 schemes that prioritize speed and coverage ability over tackling and gap integrity at the linebacker position.
Cole's physical play and run-stopping prowess make him a strong fit for a traditional 3-4 defense, though his coverage limitations will restrict his usage to early downs.
Relative Athletic Score (Kent Lee Platte) benchmarks combine/pro-day numbers against every measured prospect at the position since 1987. 10.00 is elite; 5.00 is average.
