Brandon Hayes is a versatile, high-impact returner with offensive upside
Brandon Hayes has carved out value as a dynamic special-teams weapon and a flexible offensive piece, highlighted by a 30.7-yard kickoff return average in 2025 and multiple kickoff-return touchdowns across his Southeastern Louisiana career. At 6-foot-2, 205 pounds, he brings size, burst, and enough playmaking juice to contribute as both a receiver and runner, which makes him more than just a specialist. The main appeal is his game-changing speed in space and proven production on returns; the question for a team is whether he can keep translating that explosiveness into consistent offensive snaps.
