Cole aces high-stakes NFL job interview

Jim Connell/News-Leader

Dylan Cole is almost certainly headed to an NFL roster.

He showed why on Wednesday morning, passing virtually every test in a high-stakes job interview on the football field at Plaster Stadium.

The Rogersville High and Missouri State graduate was put through the paces at the MSU Pro Day, working out with representatives of 14 NFL teams watching intently and recording his every move.

Cole, with MSU teammates Riley Shantz and Zac Hoover, were measured and lifted weights in private, then took to the field and put up their best efforts in the 40-yard dash, vertical jump and broad jump, along with other agility and football drills.
