Former NFL LB with Portland State Roots, Now a Firefighter/EMT
Adam Hayward is not a current college athlete; he is a former professional linebacker who played for the Portland State Vikings in college before being drafted by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2007 and later playing for the Washington Redskins in the NFL. Born June 23, 1984, Hayward stands 6-1 and weighs 240 lbs, with a career marked by 137 solo tackles and 1 sack[2][3]. After retiring from football, he became a Firefighter/EMT in Florida, showcasing his intensity, discipline, and community focus[1]. Since he is no longer active in sports, he is not a fit for any current team, but his legacy as a durable, hard-hitting LB from Portland State remains notable for fans and analysts alike[4][6].
