Hayes is a Florida native and is the nephew of former Bucs player Geno Hayes.

The Bucs selected Lakeland, Florida, native [autotag]Josh Hayes[/autotag] in the sixth round, and although there are a few aspects of his game that show promise, scouts and pundits seem to have ranked him far, far lower than the position the Bucs ended up taking him in the 2023 NFL draft.

Check out the rundown on Hayes below:

Height: 5’11”

Weight: 197 pounds

Age: 24

Hometown: Lakeland, Florida

Scouting Report (Lance Zierlein, NFL.com): “Hayes has adequate physical and athletic measurables to play slot cornerback, but he might need to bulk up to play safety. He is active against the run and the pass, but his inconsistency as a tackler could make it challenging for him to stick on a roster.”
