Draft notebook: Tar Heels' final impression will last, and hurt too
Posted Dec 27, 2011
NFLDraftScout.com has learned that teammates and members of the UNC coaching staff approached Quinton Coples mid-season about moving back inside to help the Tar Heels get more explosive pass rushers on the edge. Coples declined. His reason, according to a source, was that moving back inside could call into question his versatility and thereby compromise his draft stock.
