Long, winding path leads Hayden home
BOURBONNAIS – Before he became a top college recruit, before he played in front of massive crowds, before he won a Super Bowl ring, Kelvin Hayden was a kid with a dream.
A die-hard Bears fan, Hayden grew up in the Englewood neighborhood on Chicago’s South Side. In search of action, he would board a bus and head north from his home near 72nd and Sangamon streets to play with his cousins near 59th and Carpenter streets.
There, any open space could be transformed into a football field.
