The Houston Texans voted Cole the team's 2020 Ed Block Courage Award winner.
The award is given to a player to "recognize extra efforts both on and off the field and their ability to overcome great adversity."
Cole certainly personifies what the award is about.
He was undrafted out of Missouri State before catching on with the Texans in 2017. He would see playing time early that season before a hamstring injury knocked out the middle of his season. The next season he'd again miss a big chunk in the middle of the season via injury. His 2019 season finished with him on injured reserve due to a torn ACL.
