Whaley, Hayden explosive in first scrimmage

FAYETTEVILLE — Two of the most explosive plays in Arkansas' first scrimmage of the spring came courtesy of running backs Devwah Whaley and Chase Hayden.

Behind Rakeem Boyd, who took on the bulk of the first-team work last fall following Whaley's injury at Auburn and led the Razorbacks with 734 rushing yards, the duo combined for 619 yards and three scores in 2018. But with Boyd out as he continues to recover from November shoulder surgery, Whaley and Hayden are assuming a majority of the early reps this spring.

They didn't disappoint in the portion of the team's scrimmage open to the media inside Razorback Stadium on Saturday.
