Florida’s Haden loses a little luster
Dare the Browns draft Florida cornerback Joe Haden No. 7 overall after he posted some tortoise-like times in the 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine on Tuesday?
According to reports, Haden ran 4.57 on his first try and 4.60 on his second. This after he had gone on record expecting to post times in the 4.37 to 4.42 range.
Florida’s pro day is March 17 and Haden, about to lose millions if he slips out of the top 10, says he’ll try to run faster.
“I never ran a 4.5 in my life,” he told the NFL Network, which televised the combine because, well, what else are they going to show in February. “I’m definitely going to have to go and run that back again. Make sure I go home and train a little harder.”
Mary Kay Cabot in The (Cleveland) Plain Dealer reported that Tennessee safety Eric Berry, another in whom the Browns have interest, turned in an official time of 4.47, which means the Browns are probably out of luck because he’ll probably go in the top five.
So, any way you slice it, the defensive back news wasn’t the best on Tuesday for the Browns, who would like to use a high pick on either a cornerback or safety considering their lack of impact players in the secondary.
