Sad sad news. I remember he almost died on the field in college as well. RIP D.J.

This is tragic. RIP DJ Hayden.

I'm well familiar with the area this tragedy happened. Red light running/stop sign running/ driving around houston has gotten so bad (and I know across the entire country as well) that I absolutely try to avoid downtown or any populated areas as much as possible, especially once nightfall happens. Car insurance premiums are never gonna decrease.

RIP DJ and to the other victims

Yeah, I heard this news has I was biking with my son.  Prayers to his family, I hope they can find peace in such a tragedy.

Hayden always seemed like a good guy.  I'll pour one out for him and hope his loved ones know that there are people that light a candle for their kin. 

In the bleak mid-winter

That is tragic. RIP to he and the other victims.

Very sad and unfortunate. He was young. Count your blessings folks. In the blink of an eye, it could all be over.

"What do I know of cultured ways, the gilt, the craft and the lie? I, who was born in a naked land and bred in the open sky. The subtle tongue, the sophist guile, they fail when the broadswords sing; Rush in and die, dogs - I was a man before I was a king."

May you rest in peace DJ.

Respect the game.  Play with a sense of urgency. 


1.)  Take care of the ball.  Win the turnover battle.

2.)  It's all about 3rd down.  Win on 3rd down to win the game.

3.) Playmakers make plays.  The only reason that you put your uniform on is to make plays. In order to EARN your paycheck, you must make plays.  

Learn from the great collapse of 2023.
