Iowa All-American Cooper DeJean is considered a likely first round pick in the NFL Draft which begins tonight in Detroit. DeJean missed the final four games last season after suffering a fractured leg in practice the week of the home finale against Illinois. One possible landing place is Green Bay where he would be reunited with former Hawkeye Lukas Van Ness.
