Hurricanes offensive lineman Javion Cohen reportedly signing with Cleveland Browns
Cohen spent two seasons as a starting guard for Alabama before transferring to the Hurricanes, and he was a starter in all 12 regular-season games. Pro Football Focus gave Cohen a 59.4 offensive grade.
Javion Cohen left Alabama, which consistently puts players in the NFL, to come to Miami for his final season.
The decision worked out, as the Cleveland Browns reportedly signed Cohen after the NFL draft ended on Saturday, according to Bleacher Report.
“I feel like I was blessed and anointed for this position,” Cohen said at Miami’s Pro Day in March. “God has allowed me to walk this path for a specific reason. However it turns out, whoever picks me, they’re going to get a steal. It’s going to be the best decision they ever made.”
Cohen, an Alabama, native, was a touted prospect coming out of Central High in Phenix City. He was rated a four-star prospect in 247Sports’ composite rankings and signed with the home-state Crimson Tide.

Cohen said he spent the offseason working on getting flexible and agile since the season ended.
“Just continuing to work on my craft,” he said. “Continue to be somebody that can come in and play right away.”
