Casey Hayward, Green Bay Packers

While he didn’t have the best of seasons in 2015, he was still around the ball a lot. He had 65 tackles but no interceptions last season. Although he did not pick off a pass in 2015, he has nine interceptions in four seasons.  All of them came in 2012 and 2014.

If you look at the calendar this is 2016, an even year, so I suspect that Hayward if due for a big season.  He is young as well.  He is just 26.  He will turn 27 in September.  He’s not as tall as some others at 5-11 but I like the youth and the production he has provided for the Packers since 2012.

Cardinals corners were picked on a lot in the playoffs and with Powers possibly leaving and the jury still out on Bethel, the Cardinals could look here.  Even if Powers stays, Hawyard could be a nice addition to the team for depth purposes.
