"Practicing at Stanford for Super Bowl LX seems, well, behind enemy lines for the New England Patriots' starting safeties. Both Jaylinn Hawkins and Craig Woodson went to Cal. Mannnn, it's hard for me. But, no, Stanford has a beautiful campus, a beautiful stadium, Hawkins said Tuesday. I give it to them, even though it's our rival school. Don't go thinking they've become traitors. Both Hawkins and Woodson were heading to Berkeley right after Tuesday's media session."
"Hawkins is in his sixth season out of Cal and in his second season with the Patriots. Just having him here has been a blessing, Woodson said. Me and him just have a chemistry on the field. It's something you can't really teach. You build it on your own. We've done it over the course of the season. It feels good to have another Cal Bear next to me."
Jaylinn Hawkins and Craig Woodson, both Cal alumni and New England Patriots safeties, visited Stanford and planned to visit Berkeley while preparing for Super Bowl LX at Levi's Stadium. Woodson, a rookie starter, recorded his first career interception in the Patriots' divisional win over the Texans. Hawkins entered the NFL as a fourth-round pick in 2020, played 48 games with 22 starts, was released in October 2023, finished that season with the Chargers, and joined the Patriots in 2024. Woodson called Hawkins' presence a blessing and highlighted their chemistry on the field. Hawkins scored a touchdown and intercepted a pass in a 2022 win over the 49ers. The 49ers have not drafted a Cal player since 2001.
