Coples: "He can be as good as he wants to be"

Posted Apr 27, 2012
Thursday night was a night of dreams for former North Carolina defensive lineman Quinton Coples, as he was taken with the No. 16 overall selection of the 2012 NFL Draft by the New York Jets. "They (the Jets) were definitely serious about taking me if (I was) available at that time. It was good stuff. They educated me on the things they do in their program," Coples said.
