Nick Hayden Madden Career 2009-2016 - Peak 73 OVR
A run-stuffing nose tackle who started when it counted
Nick Hayden was a sixth-round pick of Carolina in 2008, a dependable run-stuffing nose tackle who found a real role in Dallas, starting in the middle from 2013 through 2015.
Madden climbed him from a 57 to a 73 by the 2015 edition during that run, a two-down run defender who ate blockers and rarely made a highlight, just two career sacks. He started all sixteen games in 2013 and even scored a defensive touchdown, the quintessential run-stuffing role player, useful and anonymous.
