BEREA: Browns rookie defensive lineman Xavier Cooper is ready to improve on the football field everyday.
He also wants to get the pronunciation of his first name straight.
“It’s Ex-zavier,” Cooper said with a smile Saturday following a light practice in Berea under bright sunny skies. “My mom gave me that name as well as my dad. A lot of people just call me X, Coop, X-Man, I hear it all.”
Cooper is aiming to make an impact for the Browns after the organization drafted him the third round of the 2015 NFL Draft.He collected his first sack of the preseason Thursday when the Browns hosted the Washington Redskins at FirstEnergy Stadium in Cleveland.
