Haynos was kind enough to take some time and chat with with us as he looks to get more involved in the Dolphins' offense.
Chris Nelson: How did you find out the Dolphins were interested in signing you to their active roster and where were you?
Joey Haynos: I was in Green Bay and my agent, Scott Smith, texted me.
Chris Nelson: Did the Packers' make any attempt or offer to get you to stick around?
Joey Haynos: Yes they did.
Chris Nelson: Did the Dolphins show any interest to you pre-draft or following the draft?
Joey Haynos: Yes Pre-Draft at the Combine and they called after the Draft too.

Chris Nelson: Do you think Jermichael Finley's draft status may have played a role in him earning the third tight end job over you in Green Bay?
Joey Haynos: Of course.
Chris Nelson: Do you have any prior relationships or encounters with anyone on the Dolphins' roster?
Joey Haynos: I knew a couple of players from the Combine and Hula Bowl and now a LB from Maryland.
Chris Nelson: While playing against Clemson, did you ever go head-to-head with Dolphins defensive end Phillip Merling and if so what were your impressions?
Joey Haynos: I did and my impression was he was pretty good.
Chris Nelson: What do you consider your biggest strength and what do you feel you need to work on?
Joey Haynos: My strength is pass catching, and I need to work on pass blocking.
Chris Nelson: Could you see some action in certain offensive sets in the near future or will you primarily work on special teams?
Joey Haynos: I think in the near future I will be working in the offense.
Chris Nelson: Do you consider you special teams play one of your strengths?
Joey Haynos: I’d say my strengths are anything the team wants it to be right now.
Chris Nelson: Have the Dolphins' discussed any long-term plans for you?
Joey Haynos: Right now I’m just learning the offense and tight end position.
Chris Nelson: Thank you for your time.
Joey Haynos: Thank you. I just want to add that I’m really happy being with the Dolphins. I’m really impressed with the team, the coaches and the fans. Thanks again.
