Some guys tumble down draft boards for smoking marijuana. Marshaun Coprich is tumbling down draft boards for selling it. In 2015, Coprich was arrested for selling marijuana to an undercover officer, which has obviously raised some character concerns amongst draft scouts.
As a back, though, he’s very impressive. The first Illinois State player to be invited to the NFL Scouting Combine since 2007, Coprich has deserved the praise, rushing for at least 1,900 yards and 23 touchdowns in the last two seasons.
The Broncos have made a habit of finding talented guys in the late rounds/free agency. If they’re confident in Coprich’s improved maturity, he could be the latest.
