Reginald Joseph Hayward Jr. (born March 14 1979) is the right defensive end for the Jacksonville Jaguars.

College career

Hayward was a three-year starter at Iowa State University, where he was a first-team All-Big 12 Conference selection and the Arthur Floyd Scott Award winner during his senior year.

NFL career

Hayward was drafted by the Denver Broncos in the third round of the 2001 draft. After four seasons at Denver, Hayward was signed by the Jacksonville Jaguars as an unrestricted free agent on March 2 2005.

In his first year as a Jaguar, Hayward accumulated 33 tackles (27 solo), 8.5 sacks, and six pass deflections in 15 games. He is also credited with two forced fumbles in the 2005 NFL season. Unfortunately, at the start of the 2006 season, Hayward suffered a season-ending injury to his Achilles tendon and was placed on injured reserve. [http://www.jaguars.com/story/5457.asp]
