Haden to the NFL


Florida's cornerback, Joe Haden, has announced he will declare for the 2010 NFL Draft. Haden was a consensus first-team All-American this season as well as a finalist for the Thorpe Award.He led the Gators with four interceptions, while contributing 68 tackles, three sacks, 10 pass breakups and two forced fumbles. "We're sad to see Joe go because he's a great leader and a dynamic player," said interim Gators head coach Steve Addazio. "But we know that with his tremendous talent, he will be a special player at the next level. This is the opportunity of a lifetime for Joe, and we wish him nothing but the best." Haden started all 40 career games that he played, and in 2007 became the first true freshman to ever start at cornerback for Florida. He finishes his career with eight interceptions and 218 tackles. He was to me one of the best corners in the game. No word on the other Gators yet.
