In the 7th round and with the 239th overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, Ohio State University DE Jonathon Cooper became a rookie for the Denver Broncos.
In a previous post for one of Cooper’s press conferences, I linked this video from his Twitter, which shows the kids in his neighborhood congratulating for getting his name called in the draft and officially going pro. Here it is again because it’s so dang heartwarming.
Background
Cooper’s mother, Jessica Moorman, was in high school when she gave birth to him and she raised him by herself.
