list of tennessee players that are been suspended
The final season of Kamal Hadden’s football career with Tennessee ended too soon.
Hadden missed Tennessee’s final six games due to an injury sustained during the Vols’ defeat to Alabama. Hadden chose to watch a bowl game to cap off his college career rather than participate in one.
Hadden stated, “I kind of feel like when it first happened, it was a big setdown for me because I feel like I let my coaches down and my team down, just having such a good year.” “Then it was all over, you know, just a little play that I always made, a routine play.”
Before getting hurt, Hadden had not let up a touchdown throw in his whole season as a cover man. Of his seven interceptions, three came from him.
Hadden’s season was officially over when he had shoulder surgery five days later. His emotional rehabilitation was considerably quicker than his physical recovery, which took months.
“Having my mom and everyone else there with me and my team with me really took a few days,” Hadden remarked. “There was really nothing I could do about it. Whatever your emotions, you are unable to handle it.
Hadden was present at the NFL Combine, although his involvement was restricted to on-field workouts. Hadden participated fully in Wednesday’s Tennessee Pro Day.
With the NFL Draft just four weeks away, pro day performance is crucial right now. Hadden’s Pro Day performance, which included scouts from all 32 teams, had the potential to alter the course of his professional career, particularly in the absence of an NFL Combine appearance.
Hadden was content to perform for scouts despite his lingering injury concerns.
Hadden remarked, “I felt amazing.” “You know, I think I prepared pretty well, and I did what I could.” I simply went out there and demonstrated my abilities, and I feel like I always look well when I’m playing the game.
According to Pro Football Focus, Hadden is rated 191st in this year’s draft class, making him a sixth-round selection. Hadden is slated to be selected in the fifth round by ESPN’s Matt Miller. Hadden will be keeping an ear out for his name during the April 25–27 NFL Draft, which takes place in his native Michigan.
Hadden has received compliments on both his character and his on-field performance throughout his talks with teams.
Hadden remarked, “They like my ability to make a play, you know, to go out there and get back settled, not just always high or not just always low.” “Just being able to recover and play the ball or make a comeback.”
Hadden attended Independence Community College to start his career. During the 2019 season, he forced three fumbles and intercepted a pass; the 2020 season was postponed due to COVID-19.
Hadden gradually gained a starting position for Tennessee in 2021 and 2022 before taking over as a full-time starter in 2023. Though he logged 19 tackles and intercepted eight passes, he was unable to demonstrate his full season’s worth of play.
Now that he’s over all of that, Hadden only needs to maintain control over what he can.
Hadden remarked, “This is just another place or thing that I had to overcome and accept where I am and accept what happened to me.” Simply put your best foot forward, venture out, and
