Does Robert Hainsey have the towel folding/baby powder technique Tom Brady asks of his centers down? “By now I do.” CarmieV talks with Hainsey about the pressure and work that goes into playing center and replacing Ryan Jensen. FrontOffice33 | GoBucs
, he thought he was working to compete for the left guard spot—which at the time was the only hole on the Tampa Bay offensive line.Ryan Jensen suffered a severe knee injury
Hainsey spent his rookie season last year learning the center spot. Shipley was on staff then and became almost his personal coach. Who better to learn from than a guy who played 12 years in the league at the position, after all? A right tackle at Notre Dame, Hainsey first tried out the center role at the 2021 Senior Bowl. He held up and Tampa Bay drafted him to potentially be Jensen’s successor… they just didn’t realize it would end up happening so soon.
Jensen has been around throughout the last week. He can be seen with the offensive line tooling around in a golf cart—a trait usually reserved for Bruce Arians himself . But whether it’s after individual drills or at the Buccaneers’ first preseason game, Hainsey is never far away. Every few reps in practice, he’ll go over to Jensen and they’ll talk over his technique and discuss ways to improve.
“It means a lot,” Hainsey said of that faith. “I think I did a lot to put myself in a position to be ready when I was needed. So, it’s gratifying in that sense. But like Tom said, ‘You got to earn it every day.’ Nothing’s promised and I have to go out there with the intent to get better and do everything I can to help the Bucs. And keep doing those things that I’ve always done that got me to this point.
