North Carolina - The star: Senior defensive end Quinton Coples is widely viewed as a top 15 NFL draft choice. He has played both tackle and end during his Carolina career. Last season, Coples had 15.5 tackles for loss and 10 sacks. His body control and explosion off the edge could make him one of the nation's most feared pass rushers in 2011.
