All right let's do it off we go here we Go all right Hayden Day in the Life A Day in the Life a day in life a Long Snapper you can just drive around on a Cart anywhere you want just see what Happens it must be nice must be nice Well it's a nice day here in Spartanburg So let's just take a little campus tour Welcome first uh two three days down Here in uh Sparkle City what do you Think so far very hot Um has to be expected out here lots About it obviously went to South Carolina so used to the heat a little Bit but did not miss it How different is Spartanburg training Camp from Columbia training camp Same on the field stuff pretty on par Okay a little bit more recovery time Which is nice good for the body Especially the order we get We're young guys we are young guys you Don't don't let them know about your age I'm 22. feel like it that's right I feel Like I'm 18. absolutely all right so we Were talking the other day And we're actually gonna head towards The baseball fields because what I love Probably as much as football is baseball So you played a lot of baseball as a kid Was that your first love it absolutely Was yeah when I was growing up it was Always baseball first and then whatever Baseball was over I'd just hop into
Football season so you were would you Play picture everything picture first Base Outfield kind of was the athlete on The field just can kind of do do Whatever baseball is always easy Baseball is easy yeah you're like one of Like Two people in that locker room that Thinks baseball is easy Hitting is Pretty Tough hitting trying To hit a ball that small going 100 miles An hour absolutely definitely not easy But uh yeah when I was a kid man I just Picked up a ball and could throw it Super hard and could always just hit Really well so so I've got to work so I've got a question for you I think this Is always interesting for baseball Players and football players what would You rather do stand in the Box verse 95. Or and this may be more of the old NFL Rules go across the middle with the fear Of you getting hit by a safety or Someone like that old NFL rules yeah Older NFL now it's a little safer going A little bit safer more protected I Definitely I'd say step in the Box Step In The Box it's definitely intimidating Though been there done that absolutely That's why I'm playing football now but You also pitched right I did I did so You got to do a little bit of the Intimidating I did I was effectively Wild is what they called me I could uh
Could run it up there like 95 plus but Sometimes it'd be a strike and sometimes Lord knows where it would go so like a Stat line might be like six Innings 110 Pitches nine strikeouts seven walks two Hit by pitch no hit I don't know hits no Hits yeah I honestly think my Professional stats I only made like a Couple outings okay one of my outings I Struck out for and walked five so there You go there you go nobody was touching The ball so see right now we are walking Uh or we're driving on to wofford's Baseball field and uh I've done a couple Of my car talks out here and does this Bring back any memories like where would You most want to be on a baseball field Right now for me being a pitcher yeah um If I'm not on the mound just being a PO That life okay Out bsing with the guys hanging out Doing stuff like that sunflower seeds Pumpkin seeds gum big sunflower seed guy What was your brand of choice Ranch okay I always go with ranch Um barbecue is a good change up yep you Know you're playing 140 games you got to Do something different here and there Sure Big League Chew okay big on that I Was literally on this field three years Ago with a tight end you'll know well Greg Olsen oh yeah we had a very similar Conversation he was only playing Seeds and I was trying to explain you
Gotta go like dill pickle you want to Switch it up you gotta switch it up way Too many games just be consistently Regular that's right just ranches Barbecue dill pickle there's all sorts Of stuff any any flavors you would just Flat out not go for honestly Um was never really a big dill pickle Guy now if it was the if it was there And that's the only thing we had it is 100 stuff sitting there for a nine Inning game doing nothing not chewing on Gum not trying I agree because those Games can get long very long do you like The new baseball rules the time clock I know everyone wants to Speed the game Up but then I don't know all the changes That have been happening it just to me Kind of changes the game okay like I saw I was watching a Instagram video last Night in the minor leagues if you're in The Box And umpire calls a strike or a ball you Can tap your head and challenge it and He looks up to the booth only review it Quickly The automatic uh or the automated strike Ball strike that's very tennis like of Them yes I'm not a fan of that just kind Of it takes out the human Arab and That's baseball you know kind of what Makes it fun and it's true we're not but In football we we've got we've got Reviews do you like the reviews in
Football I think it works for football I Definitely think it cleans up the game Because it happens so fast but I don't Know with umpires and things like that I Think that's kind of the beauty of the Game Review you kind of take that out of it How many times in your NFL career that You can remember have you told your Coach review that I caught it like the Refs are wrong they're blind all the Nasty things we say to officials how Many times have you told Coach like They're wrong I know this I think only Like once or twice I remember were you Right I was right okay yeah that could Always be very embarrassing that's your Team a timeout that would be bad that's Right lose your coaches trust a little Bit yeah it was actually in Atlanta Um the past was not directed for me I Think I threw it to Calvin Ridley and Hit him hit the defender and hit his Foot and kicked it up in the air and I Came in scooped it and they everyone Thought they'd hit the ground I was like No way it was a catch you can look at That up Ridley had One let's see if first it was deflected And called incomplete by the officiating I think Raheem just kind of excited to Throw that red flag for the first time Too well look at Hearst I love the way
You talk about tracking a football And yeah that looks good there cannot Hit the ground therefore it is a Completed pass we're going back week one To Atlanta oh yeah Hayden Hurst Revenge Game yep what what is the thing you're Going to look forward to most going back To one of the places you've played I got to do it last year I gotten Playing for Cincinnati got to play Against the Falcons that was fun got to Kind of score up on them a little bit There you go we'll try to do the same Courtesy of Joey being the boys okay but Uh yeah it'll be fun you know it was one Of the reasons why I wanted to sign here Is to get to play those guys and just Showcase you know what type of player I Am because you know they didn't really Believe in me a whole lot so It'll be fun to go back there and get to Go show them the player that I've become Absolutely now let me ask you this Question so this was kind of circulating The locker room earlier today I don't Know if you heard it this is important Get to know your teammates information We're going to fly into Atlanta we're Gonna get to a hotel room okay some of Your teammates Adam thielen rip all of The Um they rip all of the sheets out from Underneath the bed because in their mind They want to be able to spread out and
