William Hayes Mermaids | William Hayes Dinosaurs
William is a strong believer of mermaids. He however does not believe that dinosaurs ever existed. In 2015, he was quoted saying “I believe there is more of a chance you will find a mermaid than you will a dinosaur because we find different species in the water all the time.”
His former team mate and friend Chris Long says “He thinks archaeologists place bones underground like a parent would place Easter eggs. They just planted them. It’s some large conspiracy. He does not believe that dinosaurs ever existed and he thinks that mermaids are real. I love dinosaurs, so we have a big point of contention.”

William Hayes Interview
Q: What made you passionate about the cause of homeless awareness?
William Hayes: “I’m really passionate about kids. I’ve been in situations where I’ve seen a lot of children who were homeless. I always told myself If I was able to get to a platform where people can see me as a role model…I was going to try to do something positive within the community. And I felt this was a great avenue to go.”
Q: How long did you and Long go undercover and what was the most attention-grabbing thing you experienced?
William Hayes: “We did it for a day and a half. I had two different scenarios. We were walking up the street and about to go to a homeless shelter and we started getting harrassed by a cop. That’s when I realized I was in a different type of light. Where I’m not getting seen as a football player. Generally a cop is really nice towards me and stuff. I feel like they would’ve seen me as William Hayes and Chris as Chris Long, we would’ve never been put in that situation. That was the first thing that really stuck out.”
“The second thing…just going to the homeless shelter and seeing all these kids…and knowing at the end of the day these kids have nowhere to go. You just listen to conversations…real conversations…People (talking about what they’re going to do for the night). It’s just real. There was a kid and his mom and her mom is probably sleeping in a building one night. I got three kids…I can’t even imagine my kids not having somewhere to sleep at night.”
Q: You learned some homeless can be quite territorial, correct?
William Hayes: “Oh yeah. We were at White Castle, asking a guy where some good places to go to…(We told him we were going to the bridge). And when we said that, we saw him start texting somebody. Me and Chris and our security guy are trying to warm up and stuff…and about 10 minutes later I see him looking at us, then talk to a group of guys, then we felt (stuff was getting kind of shady). I think that’s when our covers got blown. We didn’t feel comfortable any more.”
Q: Have you gotten any reaction from your teammates yet?
William Hayes: “I’m actually going (back to St. Louis) today. We have our (reporting day for OTAs) tomorrow. But I got a lot of texts. People telling me it was a powerful piece. I felt like it turned out really good.”
