Packers rookie defensive end Datone Jones met with reporters in the Lambeau Field locker room on Saturday, May 11, 2013.
Packers CB Casey Hayward hasn’t slowed down much since his rookie season ended.
Shortly after the Packers were eliminated from the playoffs last January, Hayward returned to Vanderbilt University for his final semester of college, and Hayward graduated last week with his degree in sociology.
Needing just 13 hours, including one more class in his major, to finish his degree, Hayward decided not to wait to go back to school. Having skipped the last semester he needed to graduate in order to go through the pre-draft process last year, Hayward didn’t want to put it off any longer.
Congratulations Casey!
