Tariq Cole still has plenty of fans at Pro Football Focus.

The analytics-driven outlet featured Cole, Rutgers' left tackle, as an early offensive line name to know ahead of the 2019 NFL Draft due to his pass blocking efficiency. Cole had a PBE rating of 97.7 last fall, which was tied for 13th nationally.

PFF has had high praise for Cole in the past, naming him the Big Ten's most underrated player in 2016. Now Cole is a senior, and he will be leaned on as the Scarlet Knights' anchor up front as they attempt to qualify for a bowl game for the first time since 2014.
