BEREA: Browns guard Jonathan Cooper knows he hasn’t come close to living up to his draft status.
He should be a longtime starter by now with a Pro Bowl resume. At least those were the expectations placed upon him when the Arizona Cardinals drafted him seventh overall in 2013.
Injuries have interfered, though.
“People are going to have their expectations,” Cooper said Monday. “I have my own expectations coming out, and I try not to let it go to the what-ifs, what if I had not broken a leg, et cetera, et cetera. I mean if you dwell on that, then you can never move forward.
