Hayward has been selected for the Pro Bowl in each of his two seasons with the Chargers, who signed him as a free agent from Green Bay in 2016.

The six-year pro has played in every game since joining the Chargers, with 11 total interceptions while drawing the toughest defensive assignments, including an NFL-best seven in 2016.
