Former Michigan Wolverines center Mason Cole went through testing and drills at the NFL Scouting Combine on Friday, and by all accounts he left a positive impression on those in attendance.

Cole’s numbers may not be eye popping, but they are solid. Although Cole played at both tackle and center during his U-M career, he’s being scouted at center solely. Cole’s draft stock was boosted today, and he will likely be a day three selection.

Chad Reuter- NFL.com
Mason Cole looked like an interior OL who had played OT during his career. More fluid than most in pass pro drills, good hips in DB drill. Zone G/C would be a great fit.

Michigan C Mason Cole at 5.30 on his second run, first was 5.23. Teams are not even considering him at tackle, FYI
