- Cole, in his sophomore season with the Southern Methodist University (SMU), won the 2009 edition (8th) of the Hawaii Bowl. It was SMU‘s first college football bowl game (one of a number of postseason games that are primarily played by teams belonging to the NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (the highest level of college football in the United States)) since playing in the 1984 Aloha Bowl.
- Not picked by any franchise at the 2012 NFL Draft, he was signed up by the Dallas Cowboys as an undrafted ‘free agent’ (a player who is not under contract to any specific team and eligible to sign with other clubs/franchises; or a player who is under contract but allowed to solicit offers from other teams).
- It was an eventful start to Cole’s NFL career as he abruptly left the team’s training camp due to undisclosed personal reasons. He even considered retiring from the sport but made a sudden comeback. The following season (2013), he had the highest completion percentage of any receiver (with more than 10 targets) in the NFL.
- In the ‘Wild Card Round’ (the 1st stage of the NFL’s playoff (postseason) phase) of the 2014 NFL season, against the Detroit Lions, he made 4 catches – 3 for first downs – for 63 yards and recovered a fumble in a 24-20 victory.
- In the 2015 NFL season, Cole finished with 52 receptions (the joint 2nd-most for the Dallas Cowboys) for 537 yards and 5 touchdowns (the most for the team). In the 2016 NFL season, his 76.5% catch rate was the 2nd-highest among all wide receivers in the league.
- Besides his football career, he also has a keen interest in music. He released a single titled 80 Stings in 2017. The following year, he released his debut album titled The Autobiography. Soon, he also co-founded ColdNation Records, an independent label. Cole released another single (titled Sometimes) in January 2020.

On March 13, 2019, he signed a 4-year contract worth USD 29 million with the Buffalo Bills.

- In the ‘Wild Card Round’ of that season, he caught 7 passes for 57 yards in a 27-24 win. His 7 catches were a career-high for a playoff game. After the season, he revealed that he had played through the season’s playoff phase with a partially broken fibula (calf bone).
