Hayes combined for 1,000 yards last season with fourteen scores, but he will have to tread himself as a line develops in front of him and QB Don Canyon matures under center. The defense has corners Andrew Taylor and Ramaria Thompson back, along with LB LaKeem Wilson. On the defensive front, Dysell Roberts and Tony Battie return. Talent is in the fold, but a lot of changes must take place for another big season.
