Good career up North. VFL!

Wow, he was on one of the greatest offences in NCAA history on the 1998 team.

 

[KYVOL77]

Played against him in High School. Glad to see he had a great career.

 

[BACKDOC]

I saw him play in b'ham when he was with the XFL. Unbelievably they were showing highlights of him and Peyton gashing Bama the last time he played at Legion Field which I was at also.

 

[GAVol]

I knew he was a leading receiver in the CFL, but I didn't realize his numbers were quite that good. Being the # 15 all time receiver in that pass happy league is impressive.

 

[Pacer92]

Good football player....VFL!!!

 

[Daloth]

Not gonna lie. Those unis look bad ass.

 

[jspvol76]

Played against him in the Clinic Bowl, very good athlete and a good career.

 

[GAVol]

He was actually a decent backup QB back in the day.

 

[VolStar3]

I always thought of him as the Chris Carter of the Vols. It seemed like all he caught was touchdowns when he was here.

 

[Notorious B.E.N]

I saw him make a td catch in the XFL and receive the hardest hit I think I've ever seen in the endzone

 

[ncvol17]

He was fun to watch during his UT days...wish him well in life

 

[patriot-vol]

Several Vols played in CFL. It would be interesting to see a list.

 

[VolsNSkinsFan]

Wow won two Grey Cups. Impressive

 

[KnoxRealtorVOL]

Not gonna lie. Those unis look bad ass.

Minimum requirement if you're team is gonna be called the Argonauts

The guy was one of the greatest all around athletes to ever come from our great state.

When Copeland was a junior he was in a 3-0n-3 basketball tournament in the old city sponsored by Adidas. We finished runner upin our division but Copeland and Peerless Price, Deon Grants team killed the competition in the Top Flight division. Everyone was cheering them on when we didnt have games of our own. My brother in law got Copeland to take a picture with him. Its pretty funny because JC had a cheesy grin. Seems like a good dude. Glad he sustained a long career and didnt have to get a real job like the rest of us. ha

 

[BlueRaiderVol]

Played against him in the Clinic Bowl, very good athlete and a good career.

So, you played for Lipscomb?

Actually, a "Great" athlete, that's how I would describe him...Most of us felt he was a better B'Ball player than football...after Harriman lost in the State finals in football(Jermaine got to play two series), they ended up winning State in B'Ball the same year (after his knee healed from the Clinic bowl injury!!!)

Totally agree! And even better person.

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

:yes:

When he went out, the game was over. And I agree about him being a great overall athlete.
