New York Jets 2019: Ranking the 53-man roster — No. 9 Brandon Copeland

New York Jets former general manager Mike Maccagnan got a great return for his 2018 investment in Brandon Copeland.

The former Lions/Titans/Ravens edge-rusher and special teams ace had spent two seasons on practice squads and one on injured reserve since 2013. He started for Gang Green in 2018 and expressed high expectations going into his fourth full pro season.

Copeland is an Ivy League, University of Pennsylvania Wharton School of Business graduate, who runs his own real estate firm and teaches financial literacy at Penn. He just might be the most intelligent man in the room.
