NFL Combine rewind: Quinton Coples

Posted Feb 28, 2012
284-pound Quinton Coples ran a 4.78 and showed good burst during drills, and he has the length (33 1/4-inch arms) and upper-body strength to control blockers in a two-gap scheme. That strength didn't show up as much as his athletic ability at the combine, but Coples did an excellent job controlling offensive tackles during an outstanding Senior Bowl week. (ESPN.com)
