Scouting Report: Strengths
- Plays with appropriate wide base and intelligence, instincts and agility to seal the edge. Aggressive extending with power to punch and looks comfortable in space.
- Has fluid body control with loose hips. Physical and tough with good effort in the run game. Plays with a finishing attitude with an aggressive, nasty temperament.
- In the run game, Hayes plays with a mean streak and does a nice job generating a push at the initial point of attack. Hayes can get outside and does a decent job landing blocks in space.
- Has good footwork and technique. Balanced and agile pass protection set with excellent hand placement.
- Tall, long, athletic pass protector. Generally gets out of three-point stance with good knee bend and a wide base.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Hayes often plays too high, allowing speed-to-power rushers to knock him back and off balance. He needs to get much better with his hand use.
- Clearly more comfortable moving forward than sliding back as a protector.
- Is a bit underpowered, often coming off the line of scrimmage too high and struggling to generate movement. Hayes might be no more than a wall-off, angle blocker.
- He’s often too mechanical as a pass protector, oversetting and getting beat inside.
