CLEVELAND Browns cornerback Daven Holly is confident he'll bounce back from major knee surgery next season ? and be better than ever.
Holly, 25, was hurt when he jumped for a ball with receiver Braylon Edwards during practice on May 21.
"I know fans have been wondering how serious this is and whether or not I'll be back," Holly said. "But I expect to make a full recovery with no loss of speed or strength. A delay is not a denial. I'll come back better, stronger, faster and more mature than before."
Holly, a fourth-year pro, said he must have overextended his leg because when he hit the ground, it buckled. Holly crumpled in pain and knew it was serious because of the impact, but he didn't think it was season-ending.
