Jonathan Cooper counting down the days until his NFL dream comes true

Jonathan Cooper is only two weeks away from realizing his long-time ambition – playing football in the NFL like those men he used to watch on television every Sunday when he was known for nothing more than just being the biggest kid in school. Cooper is still plenty big. He measured in at 6-foot-3, 311 pounds at the NFL’s Scouting Combine in February. (Wilmington Star News)
