According to a report by nfldraftbible.com, TE Aaron Hernandez has become the second Florida underclassmen to declare that he is entering the NFL draft, joining CB Joe Haden who declared yesterday.
Hernandez achieved a career high nine catches in the Allstate Sugar Bowl on his way to 111 receiving yards and one TD catch.
For the season, Hernandez accumulated 850 yards receiving on 68 catches, including 5 TDs, and ends his career with 111 catches for 1382 yards and 12 TDs. This year Hernandez became Tim Tebow's most reliable target and go-to guy while creating mismatches against linebackers too slow to cover him or cornerbacks too small to tackle him.
Aaron Hernandez may have made his intentions obvious against FSU when he continued a tradition of heaving the football into the stands following a TD catch during a receiver's last home game. Other players to have done that include Travis McGriff, Andre Caldwell, and Carlos Alvarez. Most draft analysts project Hernandez to go somewhere between the early second to early third round.
Joe Haden came to Florida as a wide receiver but was quickly converted into a defensive back. As a cornerback, Haden excelled into the premier cover corner and one of the most complete corners in the country.
For his career, Haden notched 8 interceptions while typically covering the opposition's best receiver. Rarely did oppposing QBs try to throw his way, and Haden is expected to be drafted somewhere towards the middle of the first round.
