Jets take North Carolina DE Coples with 16th pick

Posted Apr 27, 2012
Rex Ryan kept his promise to Quinton Coples. The New York Jets coach told the North Carolina defensive end last week that the team would draft him if he were still available at No. 16 overall. Coples can repay him and the Jets by being the dominant pass rusher they think he'll be. "He told me that if I were still there, he was definitely going to take me," Coples said.
