High-floor, battle-tested guard with NFL starter upside
Cole Strange is a former Chattanooga standout whose calling card is versatility, experience, and a sturdy interior frame, having played both guard spots in the NFL after starring as a five-year starter for the Mocs. He entered the league as a first-round pick, which reflects how teams valued his football IQ and technical polish, though his 2025 NFL efficiency was mixed, with stronger run-blocking than pass protection. If you want a durable, assignment-sound interior lineman who can compete right away and fit multiple schemes, Strange is a credible fit.
