What are these statements based on? Other than a couple times he touched the ball and looked really good last season late in games, there has been nothing I know of to state this as in the realm of fact. Haven't heard his name mentioned much in reports about spring ball. In fact, heard more about a walk on named Jackson than Copeland.
EDIT: Don't get me wrong, I would love to see the guy explode this year because he has shown some flashes when he touched the ball ... but ... he really hasn't proven anything yet. Sure hope he does. We need a very sexy X back in this offense.
