Florida junior cornerback
Why he's No. 11: Outstanding athlete and cover-corner who handles single coverage as well as any defensive back in the league. His career numbers include four interceptions and 24 pass breakups. Has nose for the ball (two fumble recoveries, one forced fumble) and the ability to make big plays on defense. His 88-yard interception return for a touchdown against Georgia last season was the fourth-longest in school history.
Key number: 87, the number of tackles that Haden has last season, which ranked second on the team. Had 10 tackles and two pass breakups in the BCS title game against Oklahoma.
Fun fact: Haden was the first true freshman cornerback in Florida history to start on opening day. Changed to cornerback from receiver as a freshman when he was told he could play right away at the position.
