A fifth-round pick who kept getting to the quarterback

Trent Cole vastly outproduced his draft slot, a fifth-round pick who became a fixture near the top of the Eagles' all-time sack list. The Cincinnati product rushed with a relentless motor and a strong bull rush, a consistent double-digit threat.

Madden gave him 95s on the 2011 and 2013 cards, his most productive stretch. Two Pro Bowls in, he was proof that effort and technique can beat pedigree.

How to read these: Each row is the player’s rating in that year’s Madden, listed by the NFL season it covers (Madden NFL 2001 = the 2000 season). Madden sets its ratings before the season is played, so they reflect the previous season’s performance - a player’s breakout year tends to show up as a jump in the following year’s game.
Note: Some Madden releases tracked fewer attributes than others. Cells shown as - were not published by EA that year.
