Military Academy Helped Jets’ Top Pick Quinton Coples Develop
Posted Apr 28, 2012
Quinton Coples arrived at Hargrave in 2007, as a senior, a freakishly athletic but raw 215-pound defensive end with poor grades. He left a year later, at 245 pounds and with the body fat of a grasshopper, with grades satisfactory enough to attend North Carolina, where he developed into the pass-rushing behemoth that enticed the Jets to select him Thursday night with their first-round draft pick, No. 16 over all.
