Chris Cole

Dean Kindig

3 solo 2 asst, 0.5 TFL, 0.5 sack vs AL, 4 solo 3 asst 1 TFL vs Texas, and 3 solo 2 asst and 0.5 TFL vs GT, all scouted. Juice off the edge as a pass rusher. @Rob__Paul: "showcased ridiculous movement skills. His lateral quickness + range are sick. Cole should shine as a full-time starter this season after being one of eight SEC LBs to register 18+ pressures & 20+ defensive stops last season."
