With the Senior Bowl practices underway, plenty of information is flying out of Mobile, Alabama. If you didn’t see Ian Book making very good throw to an ACC counterpart, check it out here. What about Notre Dame defenders you ask, well Daelin Hayes has been putting on a show and is impressing NFL brass.
Tough few reps for OT Spencer Brown. ND Hayes just went right through him and put Brown on his back during 1v1.
Rust factor showing early.

Regardless of rust for his opponent, Hayes still needed to complete the rep and it seems like he did. Dane Brugler went on to note that Hayes is really taking this opportunity to make an impression as he “notice(d) that every time Hayes came off the field, he went directly over to one of the assistant coaches to discuss various techniques and get feedback. That is a player who understands the opportunity in front of him this week.”
Unloading the #SeniorBowl practice notebook:
– Several WR prospects had a great day.
– #WesternMichigan prospects (plural) were too good to overlook.
– #NotreDame Daelin Hayes understands the opportunity he has this week.
– Wisc. Whitewater repping well.https://t.co/62nfFokgMk— Dane Brugler (@dpbrugler) January 27, 2021

This is great news for the former Notre Dame defensive lineman. Aside from when the Irish will host a pro-day, this may be the only time they’ll get a chance to impress NFL teams. Hayes looks like he has been doing plenty to entice a team to make him as their selection.
