1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,800 Speaker 1: What has it been like getting acclimated to life in 2 00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:05,800 Speaker 1: the NFL and getting to know your rookie class. I'm 3 00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:09,520 Speaker 1: still getting acclimated, honestly, learned from all the Vets and 4 00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:14,120 Speaker 1: the guys in the room, Pat Gentury, Radar, Um Jays, 5 00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:16,440 Speaker 1: They've all taught me a lot. Coach Fredo has been 6 00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:18,800 Speaker 1: really good at hands on and teaching us a lot 7 00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:22,160 Speaker 1: of different things. And you know, really make sure you 8 00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:24,720 Speaker 1: know he's on me because I'm the youngest in the 9 00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:27,640 Speaker 1: room and uh, I had to learn everything and no 10 00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:31,240 Speaker 1: multiple positions. So I've honestly just been trying to soak 11 00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:34,640 Speaker 1: everything in and um, the rookie class, I think all 12 00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:36,680 Speaker 1: of us have gotten really close and we're still getting 13 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:40,320 Speaker 1: close to another and still finding out, um what everybody 14 00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:42,080 Speaker 1: likes to do, what their interests are, and you know, 15 00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:45,600 Speaker 1: their hobbies, you know. But I think we're mentioning really well, 16 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,640 Speaker 1: and you know, I'm I'm just glad and looking forward 17 00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:52,519 Speaker 1: to continuing that. Does draft night feel like it was 18 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,120 Speaker 1: like years ago or does it feel like it just 19 00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:57,240 Speaker 1: happened that you got the call from coach Donalin? It 20 00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:00,760 Speaker 1: feels like years ago, honestly, with all the installs and 21 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,480 Speaker 1: everything else. It feels like I just forgot about that. 22 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,399 Speaker 1: I'm just here to work and that was a really 23 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:10,160 Speaker 1: great moment, something that I'll never forget. Um, But it's 24 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,680 Speaker 1: time to get to work, and I'm forever thankful for 25 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:17,360 Speaker 1: the Sailor's organization trusting me and my abilities and hopefully, 26 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,039 Speaker 1: you know, I can show that on display here. Does 27 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,080 Speaker 1: everybody in the building treat you as Connor Hayward not 28 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,039 Speaker 1: Cam's little brother? Is that something you feel like you 29 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,920 Speaker 1: kind of have to shake off? Everybody trust me as Connor? Um, 30 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:33,200 Speaker 1: Cam's a great leader, great player, Uh, and everybody knows that. 31 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 1: But I'm my own man, and and they've treated me 32 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,480 Speaker 1: like I'm my own man, and I thank them for that. Obviously. 33 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:41,680 Speaker 1: I know the Hayward name has a lot of you know, 34 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,759 Speaker 1: pressure here, but the more pressure the better, and um, 35 00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 1: I'm used to that. But um, I think it's it's 36 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 1: really cool to play with my brother and learn a 37 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 1: lot of things. And I played with my brother Corey before, 38 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 1: but never Cameron because the age or the gap difference 39 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 1: in our age. So he's Cameron to you, so we 40 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 1: shouldn't call him Cam anymore. I call Cam Camera Camera, 41 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 1: Cameron's more like what my mom calls him? Okay, what 42 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 1: he's getting yelled at? Yeah she, I mean she doesn't 43 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 1: yell at him anymore, but she would always say Cameron 44 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,680 Speaker 1: when we were young. She still says camera. They'll still 45 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 1: to this day. Another one of his names is clamps. 46 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,680 Speaker 1: Uh good hands, bad hands. What do you think I'll 47 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:20,240 Speaker 1: give him good hands? I still have better hands to him. 48 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 1: But I mean he has two interceptions. I have no interceptions. Uh, 49 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,080 Speaker 1: I mean I play offense. But when when he had 50 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:28,960 Speaker 1: to make a play, He's made a lot of plays, 51 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 1: you know, deflecting the ball. His hands are always on 52 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,080 Speaker 1: the ball, and uh, he's come down with two. I 53 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:35,799 Speaker 1: know he had the one against the Giants and then 54 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:39,240 Speaker 1: one against Sheston Fields. This year he has said, you know, 55 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 1: training camp, all bets are off, and I think it's 56 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:43,800 Speaker 1: fair for any rookies or young guys that come on 57 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 1: the team. Do you think he's serious about that when 58 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,680 Speaker 1: it comes to you or is it all talk. I 59 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:51,800 Speaker 1: know he's not gonna, you know, take it easy on me, 60 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:53,679 Speaker 1: and I don't want him to take it easy on me. 61 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 1: I don't want people to be like, oh, he's just 62 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 1: taking easy on his brother. Um. But He's always been 63 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,359 Speaker 1: hard on me. All my all my siblings are hard 64 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 1: on me. My brothers, my sisters, my mom. They just 65 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 1: expect so much for me, and I expect a lot 66 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 1: from them, So I wouldn't want any other way. I 67 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 1: know it's really early, but where do you think you 68 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 1: fit in on this offense? Wherever the coaches want me 69 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,679 Speaker 1: to fit in? Um, you just got to be able 70 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,799 Speaker 1: to know your role and uh succeed at your role. UM. 71 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 1: That's how you make a team, you know, and that's 72 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 1: how you keep a job. I really don't care. I 73 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 1: obviously we want to be out there every play. But 74 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 1: whatever my role is, I'm going to do the most 75 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 1: with it and you know, make the most of my opportunities. 76 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:32,679 Speaker 1: Knowing you know O t A is mini camp that 77 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 1: it's kind of a break before training camp. What's one 78 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 1: thing you want to accomplish before you get to that point? 79 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 1: Be in the best shape possible going to the year. Uh, 80 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 1: that's something that the coaches can't coach, but they like 81 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 1: a player that's in shape. And the more in shape 82 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 1: you are, the more you know you're gonna be out 83 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:49,119 Speaker 1: there and more opportunities will come your way.
