Grinding through an NFL training camp is arguably the most grueling ordeal in all professional sports. Baltimore Ravens’ rookie outside linebacker Daelin Hayes didn’t just survive, he thrived.
He didn’t mince his words when describing the experience to members of the media on Thursday.
“That was the hardest six weeks of my life,” Hayes said. “I’ll keep it honest with y’all.”
Hayes was one of three prospects that the Ravens selected in the fifth round of the 2021 NFL Draft and was the only one that made the final 53 man roster heading into the regular season.
