It isn't easy making transitions in the NFL, you train your whole college career to play a certain position in a specific scheme, and then the team that drafts you tries to turn you into something else, essentially forcing you to start from scratch on a whole new level of intensity unlike anything you'd ever experienced. That's what happened to Quinton Coples.
A standout pass-rushing defensive end back when he was a member of the North Carolina Tar Heels in college, he was drafted in the first round by the New York Jets and they tried to transform him into an outside linebacker in their 3-4 scheme.
