Rex Ryan criticizes Quinton Coples' work in the weight room

Posted May 11, 2013
In the midst of praising some of his first year players after the opening day of rookie minicamp, Rex Ryan took a quick aside to criticize one of his sophomores, Quinton Coples. “He’s got to compete like anybody else for a job,” said Ryan. “So I’m a little disappointed in Q in the weight room in the last day.” One knock on Coples coming out of college was a questionable work ethic.
