Draft Rewind 2012 – Quinton Coples – New York Jets

What Ourlads NFL Scouting Services said about QUINTON COPLES: North Carolina, 6056 284 4.73. Two-year starter with the required size, length, and long arms for the position. Plays with knee and hip flexibility to leverage and get under the blocker. Gets good inside push when he’s reduced inside. Good initial quickness and explosive force on his first step. Good use of hands to neutralize block and control the blocker with strength. Has a quick thrust to get control of the blocks. Has the size to stay inside and stack the run and double teams. Has the ability to dip and lean, rushing the passer from the outside edge. Good lateral quickness to avoid the reach block. Can cross a blocker’s face and make plays away or to the outside. Would be considered a better than average tackler who rarely misses a tackle in a confined area. Played more defensive tackle than defensive end in 2010 with the suspension of Marvin Austin. Senior Bowl notes: Possesses an immense amount of talent, but switches his ability off and on. Appears lackadaisical and loses focus at times. Consistently has a breakdown in fundamentals. Everything is a flash. He fails to use his skills and explosiveness every down. Tendency to get inopportune penalties. Question instincts and awareness at times. Lacks a sense of urgency. Plays when he wants to. 2011 stats: 55 tackles, 15 TFL, 7.5 sacks, 3 FF, 1 FR. Edge speed:left 2.24, right 2.10. OSR:16/25. First round. (A-33 1/4, H-10 1/4, BP-25, 10-1.66).
