BERKELEY - Tailback Jahvid Best announced Saturday that he will forego his senior season at Cal and enter the 2010 NFL Draft.

"Over the past couple of weeks and over the past month, my family and I have been offered the opportunity to enter the NFL and now we have a decision," said Best. "It wasn't an easy decision. It took a lot of thought. We got a lot of advice from everybody - coaches, coach [Jeff] Tedford, my running backs coach [Ron Gould], friends, a lot of advice from everybody. We sat down, we met with coach Tedford and talked about the pros and cons, and after weighing out the pros and cons, we decided to enter the draft and forego my senior season at Cal."

"Everyone knows the impact that Jahvid has on a program," said Cal head coach Tedford. "We wish him well. It was a decision that he's made with his family, and we support him 100 percent. He's done a great job; he doesn't owe us anything. He's done a great job for this program, not just on the field but off the field. He's been a great representative of this program, and he's going to be a big success at the next level."

"Any time you lose a Heisman candidate or somebody of that caliber then you have to replace them," continued Tedford. "That's the job going ahead is trying to develop the rest of the guys that we have."
