Haden looking to be Tebow's backup

Look out Tim Tebow.
Joe Haden, one of the team's best defensive players, is working with the quarterbacks in fall practice.
Haden, a 5-foot-11 junior from Fort Washington, Md., played quarterback at Friendly High School and set a state record with 7,371 yards passing. He also tied a state record with 80 touchdown passes.

When he got to Florida, Tebow had already secured the starting job, so Haden switched to defense. He became the first freshman in Florida history to start at cornerback, and has started 26 games in two years. He has 150 career tackles, 24 passes defended and four interceptions.
But he never lost his desire to handle the ball. So he kept asking Meyer for a chance, and with the departure of speedster Percy Harvin, the Gators were looking for someone to offer a change-of-pace style behind Tebow.

It sounds like the Gators would use Haden in the Wildcat formation.

Haden in the backfield would be a nightmare for opposing defenses. This could open up a real threat for a halfback pass or Tebow, with his size, could be a lead blocker for any running play.

The Gator's team speed and spread offense will be a challege to any defense they face as long as their offensive line remains healthy.
