Quinton Coples happy to be back in pass-rushing DE role with Dolphins

Posted Nov 26, 2015
Quinton Coples is happy to be a hand-in-the-dirt, 4-3 defensive end with the Dolphins. The former Jets first-round pick wasn't happy, it seems, to be a pass-covering 3-4 outside linebacker this season with New York. Does that make him happy? "A lot," he said. "It makes me happy a lot." Coples said he wasn't too surprised to be released by the Jets. (South Florida Sun-Sentinel)
