Questions about effort still dog Quinton Coples
Posted Mar 19, 2012
Quinton Coples will participate in position drills in front of NFL scouts today at the Tar Heels’ pro day. After a solid showing at the combine last month in the 40-yard dash (4.78 seconds) and 225-pound bench press (25 reps), Coples does not plan to do any of the testing today. But Coples likely will be asked to address the perception he gave less than 100 percent at times last fall.
