The New York Giants continued with their old school approach to free agent visits on Wednesday, hosting former Houston Texans linebacker Dylan Cole in East Rutherford.
The 26-year-old Cole signed with the Texans as an undrafted rookie out of Missouri State in 2017. He’s appeared in 37 career games (one start), recording 67 tackles (five for a loss), one fumble recovery, two QB hits, one sack, seven passes defensed, one interception and one touchdown.
In addition to his play on defense, Cole is also a stud on special teams, where he has taken the majority of his snaps.
Although Cole is both talented and versatile, his early career has been defined by injury. In 2017, he missed time due to a hamstring injury. He’s also dealt with a dislocated wrist (2018), torn ACL (2019) and a back injury (2020). Additionally, he missed a game last season due to COVID-19.
However, when healthy, Cole is a solid asset. He has never finished with a special teams grade below 62.8 in his career and graded out at 70.5 last season.
