No, but I love going to a butcher shop, so I would have liked him.

Well, listen, he works really hard in the offseason.

He really trains hard.

He takes care of his body.

Coach Tomlin talked about yesterday in the press conference how Cam was already there doing rehab, maintenance on his body.

So he is very, very thorough in preparing his body each week for the season.

Plus, the guy is just a technician.

I've talked about this many, many times.

Cam Hayward, there's nobody in the NFL that plays better technique than Cam Hayward.

He learned that when he was a young guy and he's carried that on.

And now as you get older and you slow down just a little bit, you've got to lean on your understanding of the game, your technique, right?

Understanding angles.

Football is a game of angles and football is a game of numbers.

Understanding where the numbers are, understanding where they can and can't run the football, understanding if they're going to run the ball to your side, they've got to block down.

All those little things that Cam has learned over the years, just like Aaron Rodgers, right?

He doesn't have the speed.

He doesn't have the ability athletically that he used to have.

But he still can play the game at a high level because he understands the game at a level that very few people do.

And Cam's at that level as a defensive tackle.

And so that's why he's in the defensive line.
