The Packers' defensive scheme is a 3-4 base defense that often relies on zone blitzes and press-man coverage principles on the outside.
Initially a valuable nickel or boundary corner with the versatility to play in multiple coverage packages, with the ceiling to develop into a long-term starter as a versatile coverage corner.
A purely Cover-2 zone scheme that emphasizes larger, more powerful corners over coverage skills and agility.
Hayward's versatility and coverage instincts make him a natural fit for Green Bay's diverse pass defense, allowing him to contribute early even across different alignments.
Selected #62 overall in Round 2 of the 2012 NFL Draft by Green Bay Packers out of Vanderbilt.
