Quinton Coples: Jets' linebacker? Defensive end? 'Just call him a ballplayer'

Posted Oct 25, 2013
Quinton Coples' physical abilities -- with a 6-6, 290-pound frame and 4.78 speed in the 40-yard dash -- have allowed a smooth transition beyond the defensive line, where he also played in college at North Carolina. After missing the first two games of the regular season with a fractured right ankle, Coples has spent five games at the new position. (Newark Star-Ledger)
