Daily Cal: Cal Tight End Morrah Declares for 2009 NFL Draft

Cal football tight end Cameron Morrah has decided to forgo his senior year with the Bears and declare for the NFL Draft.  Morrah set a Cal single-season record for tight ends in 2008 with eight receiving touchdowns and was second on the team with 27 catches. The 6-foot-4, 245-pound junior started all 13 games for the Bears last season.  With the decision, Morrah becomes the third Cal player in the last three years to declare early for the draft, following Marshawn Lynch in 2007 and DeSean Jackson in 2008.  "We work with NFL candidates to educate them on their prospects for the draft as well as the benefits for staying in college," Cal coach Jeff Tedford said. "I don't necessarily agree with the decision, but I am supportive of Cameron and hope that he is successful at the next level."
