Reginald Joseph Hayward Jr. (born March 14, 1979) is
the right defensive end for the Jacksonville
Jaguars.
Hayward was drafted by the Denver Broncos in the
third round of the 2001 draft. After four seasons at
Denver, Hayward was signed by the Jacksonville
Jaguars as an unrestricted free agent on March 2,
2005.
In his first year as a Jaguar, Hayward accumulated
33 tackles (27 solo), 8.5 sacks, and six pass
deflections in 15 games. He is also credited with
two forced fumbles in the 2005 NFL season.
Unfortunately, at the start of the 2006 season,
Hayward suffered a season-ending injury to his
Achilles tendon and was placed on injured reserve.
