University of Florida cornerback Joe Haden visited the Cleveland Browns, Tennessee Titans and the Cincinnati Bengals, also drawing serious interest from the San Francisco 49ers and the Jacksonville Jaguars.

The Oakland Raiders are a potential wild card in the Haden market, one spot behind Cleveland.

Now, Haden is about to find out Thursday night where he'll be playing football this fall.

The 5-foot-11, 193-pound consensus All-American is in New York for the draft and conducted a telephone interview today with National Football Post.

Are you ready for the draft?

Haden: "It's going well, it's going to be a really busy day. I'm so excited. I can't wait. Hopefully, I get picked early in the draft. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The whole situation is just a blessing."

What kind of player will the team that drafts you be getting?

"They're going to get a hard worker, somebody who will be productive and ready to play as soon as I step on the scene. I love the game."

What kind of feeling do you get about the Browns?

"I like them a lot. I met with all of them and they're really good dudes. I could definitely see myself winding up there and fitting in perfectly. My fingers are crossed. I hope it happens."

How do you think Tim Tebow is going to do in the NFL?

"People that doubt him are definitely going to be wrong. People are sleeping on him, but he's a winner. My fingers are crossed for him and all the other Gators."
