Round 6 – Brian Cole II, Mississippi State

Cole began his college career at Michigan as a wide receiver but transferred after his freshman season to East Mississippi Community College home of Netflix’s “Last Chance U.” While he didn’t make many appearances on the show, he was one of the top JUCO safeties in the nation. He spent his final two seasons at Mississippi State where he recorded 78 tackles, three sacks, and two interceptions.

The biggest questions he will receive are about his experience. With only two seasons at safety, he’s still pretty raw. However, he has good size and strength to be an in-the-box safety. The Patriots could use Cole II as a backup to Chung and then decide on his future down the road once he gets more coaching.
