TAMPA, Fla. -- For Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive line coach Jay Hayes, football has always been about family. For 13 years, that family was the Cincinnati Bengals, the team his Bucs will visit Friday night in the preseason opener.
Hayes coached there with his brother, Jonathan, who still serves as the tight ends coach. This week marks the first time the two will actually coach against each other.
“It'll be fun," said Jay, who is three years older than Jonathan. "My mother got us all shirts that say, ‘Mom loves you best.' So I'm going to wear that shirt.
