Tennessee Vols cornerback Kamal Hadden, who recently declared for the 2024 NFL Draft, had one of the best moments of the 2023 season with his pick-six in UT's win against South Carolina. 

Hadden's interception off Gamecocks quarterback Spencer Rattler put the Vols up by 14 points and gave Tennessee some breathing room in their eventual 41-20 win. 

The interception was easily one of the most electric moments that Neyland Stadium saw in 2023. 

On Tuesday night, Hadden tweeted a screenshot of a text conversation he had the day before the game with an unidentified coach. Hadden told the coach that he heard Rattler said that he was going to throw to whoever he (Hadden) was covering. 

Here's the exchange.

Legend stuff from Hadden. That's the kind of stuff you just love to see. Hadden took it personal and he delivered on game day. 

Unfortunately for Hadden and the Vols, the talented cornerback was injured a few weeks later in Tennessee's loss to Alabama. 

The Vols certainly missed Hadden in the secondary down the stretch. But at least he managed to have one of the best moments of the season before suffering a season-ending injury.
