Looking at another thread and saw this scouting report on LC. Seems they didnt think much of him. http://206.67.55.17/fbcollege2000.htm 78. Laveranues Coles, WR, New York Jets- Has been timed faster than 4.2, but in many ways, seems to be a track star in football cleats. Doesn?t have good hands, and hasn?t really shown that he can use anything but speed to his advantage as a receiver. Perhaps more importantly, he seems to be a real head case. Four games into the 1999 season, he was booted from the team for his part in the same incident that involved Warrick. But he had previously been suspended for assaulting his stepmother, and another time for a separate incident. Good kickoff return man. "Our determination is he's an intelligent young man who knows right from wrong," Groh said. "I think he's hungry for another chance. I think he realizes this is his last chance."
18. Chad Pennington, QB, New York Jets- This Marshall athlete is generally considered to be the top QB in the draft, by far. Threw for more than 14,000 yards in his career, and 61 TDs with just 18 INTs in 1998-99, while completing about two-thirds of his attempts in those two campaigns. Smart player, who is an accurate passer and is a proven winner (47-7 at Marshall). Has good size (6-3, 230), but is not a scrambler or a threat to run, and is not as good at throwing the long pass. With Vinny Testaverde expected to make a full recovery, his fantasy value, though potentially significant, is down the road. "To get a first-round quarterback and not jeopardize the other needs of the team, it was too juicy to pass up," coach Al Groh said. "We're looking at ourselves for the long range. It keeps us from getting into the position where everything else is in place and we don't have a quarterback"
And the point is? This post is misleading, I thought you had a scout report about him from the raiders or something.
