The Cleveland Browns left former Aztec James Dockery off the final 53-man roster

Former Palm Desert Aztec James Dockery is now looking for a new NFL gig.

The standout cornerback from Palm Desert High and Oregon State was released toady by the Cleveland Browns, as they made the final cuts from the pre-season roster. 

All NFL teams made cuts today to get their rosters to the final 53-man limit.

Dockery, heading into his second NFL season, was listed as third at right cornerback on the Browns' depth chart.

He acknowledged an outpouring of support on his twitter account (@JamesDockery31) saying:

Appreciate the love! I may be down today but I will make plays this year just wait and see! #UnderDogNation#StayPrayedUp

Dockery signed with the Browns in 2011 as an undrafted free agent.  He played in 12 games with Cleveland in his rookie season, making 2 solo tackles and adding 3 assists.

You';re welcome, Renee but I don't really expect thanks for my contributions to the classroom. IRead More wasn't going to stand by and see kids not have the basic things they needed to get through the class and most teachers are of the same mind :) Sadly, school budgets have never covered all the needs in classrooms.

Dorothy you actually believe criminals can't get guns without a background check. Wow are youRead More naive. Just because YOU don't understand why some people want a particular weapon...does not mean you can impose your ownership standards on someone else. Suppose I suggest you don't need the particular car you drive or the particlar beverage you drink? I see you are opposed to hunting. How do you feel about abortion? Typical liberal double standard at play here??

Totally agree. This is just the beginning of a gun grab. All it will accomplish is furtherRead More restrictions on law abiding citizens. Chicago is a perfect example. Strictest gun control in the nation and highest gun crime and murder rate. Criminals do not comply with the law. Only legal citizens will lose their rights to own the weapon of their choice. Liberals are all about choice when it comes to killing an unborn, but when it comes to a lawful gunowner's choice it's a different story altogether.
