Cooper DeJean has been careful as he recovers from a broken lower leg that he sustained in November. The former Iowa cornerback did his bench press at the Iowa Pro Day on Monday, but the biggest test, his 40 yard dash time, will have to wait until next month, just before the National Football League draft will take place.

DeJean spoke with the Iowa media on Monday after spending time with NFL scouts in Iowa City. He talks about what this recovery process has been like, what day in April he plans on testing his speed in front of NFL personnel directors and executives. He also talks with emotion about how hard it was for him to decide to turn pro after this past season and how he almost decided to come back because of the way his season ended.
