Posted Dec 26, 2013
If it seems like Quinton Coples has had an extra pep in his step in recent weeks, well, he has. But it hasn’t all been puppies and rainbows this year. The second-year linebacker out of UNC sustained the first serious injury of his life when he broke his ankle during preseason. “It was tough for me emotionally and physically, but in the NFL you’re going to get hurt. It’s about bouncing back.” (New York Jets)
