Ourlads' Profile:
2021 Guide: What Ourlads' NFL Scouting Services said about DAELIN HAYES: Notre Dame, 6036 261 4.75. Three year starter, Belleville, MI. Missed most of 2019 with a shoulder injury. Came back strong last fall earning Honorable Mention All ACC honors. The team captain does have a history of shoulder issues dating back to high school that need to be screened. Off the field, he is revered for intangibles, character, and work ethic. On the field, he is an assignment-savvy player who does a lot of the little things right. Techniques and pad level are consistent, he reads and reacts swiftly, and his engine is always on. May not win a lot of one on one battles with upfield juice or bull rush power, but he can be relied on to be in the right place at the right time. His bend and twitch in short areas will make things happen. Best suited for a rotational role at the next level. Fast and active hands to go along with easy bend and power. Sets blockers up well without giving away intentions too early. Will disguise his looks and shows the ability to adjust late. Can make blockers miss that set too quickly. Can bend under their pads while maintaining balance and ability to turn. Will work to keep his hand position inside with a good lockout. Locates the ball and works through traffic. Stays square while keeping his knees clean from cut blocks. Has power and strength, top to bottom. Smart and instinctive. 2020 stats: 17 T, 6 TFL, 3 sacks, 1 PBU, 3 QBH, 2 FF, 1 INT. Sixth/seventh round. (A-32, H-9 1/2, BP-26, 10-1.70).
