Despite not being drafted, former Tennessee Titans wide receiver Jacob Copeland was one of the most hyped-up rookie additions of the offseason.
Many felt that Copeland had a real chance to make the team, or at the very least, earn himself a spot on the team’s practice squad. Unfortunately for him, Copeland ended up being the odd man out when the Titans needed to make room for offensive lineman Jimmy Murray on the roster.
However, the Maryland product recently earned himself another shot in the NFL, signing a one-year deal with the Minnesota Vikings.
The rookie pass-catcher will now be tasked with trying to prove to his new team that he has the talent and potential to stick around in some capacity beyond the preseason.
Minnesota’s newest wide receiver will also have the chance to prove his old team wrong, as the Titans are set to practice and play a preseason game against the Vikings this week.
Copeland spent time at both Florida and Maryland during his college career, racking up a combined 112 catches, 1,742 receiving yards and 11 touchdowns throughout.
