Minnesota's Ra'Shede Hageman Drafted 37th Overall by Falcons

Friday night, the Atlanta Falcons chose defensive tackle Ra'Shede Hageman out of the University of Minnesota. Head coach Jerry Kill had this to say about the pick.

"I could not be more proud of Ra’Shede, as he has worked tremendously hard to get to this point. It is a special moment that he will never forget, and I am glad that his parents, his high school coach Giovan Jenkins and Rebecca and I were here to see it. This is not only a great moment for him, but also for our program, the University and the state of Minnesota. The Atlanta Falcons are not only getting a relentless football player, but also a college graduate. Atlanta is a great fit for Ra’Shede and his best years are still to come. I know he will continue to work hard every day to represent the Falcons, but also the Gophers, as he pursues his NFL dream."
