High-effort, long-shot receiver who earned his way from walk-on to playmaker
Cone’s calling card was effort and resilience: after transferring to Georgia Tech and working through a broken ankle, he became a senior receiver who finally broke through with 6 catches for 98 yards and a touchdown in the 2010 season, then carved out a multi-year pro career as an undrafted free agent. He projects as the kind of wideout coaches trust for toughness, special teams value, and persistence more than volume production, but his limited college box score means he was more of a gritty depth piece than a featured target.
