A belated Brandon Copeland update
Sorry it's taken me so long to get around to posting this information. Maybe it's because it's not great news. A week ago I wrote this story about former Page High School wide receiver Brandon Copeland. It was a feel-good story about a guy who went from Page to Division III Bridgewater to getting an NFL tryout with the Cleveland Browns.
Unfortunately, it looks like Copeland wasn't able to win the hearts and minds of the Browns' coaches, as this list of tryout signees shows.
Remember, Copeland didn't got to Cleveland's camp with a contract in hand. He merely earned the right to tryout and hopefully beat out another signee for a spot on the 80-man roster. Unfortunately, it looks like that didn't happen.
When I last spoke with Copeland he was very realistic about his slim chances but also adamant that he would keep his pro footballd dream alive regardless of the results from the Brown's minicamp. I'll try to track him down to see what might be next.
