Mason Cole Prefers Playing Center Over Guard: ‘I Like The Leadership Aspect’

Since signing a three-year deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers last offseason, Mason Cole has been under a microscope.

Historically, few NFL teams covet the center position as much as the Pittsburgh Steelers. Mike Webster, Dermontti Dawson, and Maurkice Pouncey never had their merits at the position questioned as often as Cole has in the past year.

Center or guard? That is the question fans have argued over for Cole as they try to piece together their “dream” offensive line. Despite the ongoing questioning, Cole has remained firm in his stance that he is most comfortable snapping the ball.
