It seems like there isn't anything Joe Haden can't do. During his high school athletic career, Haden led the Maryland-based, Friendly High School to a state championship with a 14-0 record playing both quarterback and safety. Haden set a state record with 7,371 passing yards and tied the state record with 80 touchdown passes. He also led his high school to two state championships as the team's starting poit guard. With all of this undeniable talent, Haden attended the University of Florida where he switched positions to cornerback and helped the team win the BCS National Championship against the Oklahoma Sooners as a sophomore in 2008.
The 2009 unanimous All-American was drafted 7th overall in the 2010 NFL Draft by the Cleveland Browns. Out the gate, the Browns offered the rookie a five-year $50 million contract with $26 million guaranteed. The contract was later renegotiated to $40 million with $14 million guaranteed. However, it didn't matter much, because Haden signed a $67 million five-year extension with the team in 2014. Unfortunately, that contract was terminated and the 2x Prowl Bowl cornerback took his talents to the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2017 where he racked up a $27 million bill for his services. This year, he signed a $22 million two-year extension with the team but has accumulated $107.5 million in total revenue this far.
