Casey Hayward on Deshaun Watson nearly becoming a Falcon, Aaron Rodgers' greatness, a challenging season with 2021 Raiders

Casey Hayward joins Bryant McFadden to discuss everything from dominating at Vanderbilt to playing cards with Aaron Rodgers & Philip Rivers to the Falcons nearly landing Deshaun Watson. First, we start with Casey's journey beginning as a high school star in the state of Georgia, but a career that didn't result in a ton of elite college offers. Casey explains how he took advantage of his time at Vanderbilt and what it was like to be drafted by the Green Bay Packers and learn under Charles Woodson for a season. As someone that spent 4 years with the Packers organization, Hayward shares his thoughts on Rodgers' relationship with the team and how it has played out over the past two seasons. Next, we move to the next chapter of his career which consisted of four years with the Chargers, 2 All-Pro selections and playing alongside Philip Rivers. Casey spent 2021 with the Raiders and it was a challenging season. He takes us through the hardest parts, a near tie in Week 18 vs his former team and the outlook after adding Davante Adams. Hayward details why he signed with Atlanta and his emotions of dealing with their recent QB rollercoaster. Casey was with Deshaun Watson just a few days before his trade and got the sense that he wanted to be with the Browns. So now, Atlanta has Casey's teammate in Las Vegas last season, Marcus Mariota, as quarterback. What can fans expect?
