Quinton Coples Visiting Panthers, According To Report
SB Nation's latest Mock Draft has Coples going to the Jacksonville Jaguars at No. 7, but the 6-foot-6, 284-pounder would fit nicely in Carolina as well. Mocking the Draft considers Coples to be the 11th best prospect in the draft, but the top defensive lineman available.
Coples has so far done nothing to hurt his stock during the NFL Combine and workouts. He ran a 4.78-second 40 and bench-pressed 225 pounds 25 times. He’s coming off a season at North Carolina in which he had 15.5 tackles for a loss and seven sacks. He finished his collegiate career with 144 tackles and 24 sacks.
