Derrick Hayward brings Maryland a developmental TE with real in-line upside
Derrick Hayward has shown he can handle a full-time role for Maryland, starting all 13 games and contributing as a steady, physical tight end rather than a volume receiver. His profile suggests a reliable in-line presence with size and room to grow, and his production has included a touchdown and situational receiving value. For a team looking for toughness, blocking willingness, and a developmental TE who can do the dirty work while still offering some pass-game utility, he’s a fit worth tracking.
